Tafsir

Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

Al-Kahf 18:71

Word by word

فَٱنطَلَقَا حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا رَكِبَا فِى ٱلسَّفِينَةِ خَرَقَهَا ۖ قَالَ أَخَرَقْتَهَا لِتُغْرِقَ أَهْلَهَا لَقَدْ جِئْتَ شَيْـًٔا إِمْرًا

So they set out, until when they had embarked on the ship, he [i.e., al-Khiḍr] tore it open. [Moses] said, "Have you torn it open to drown its people? You have certainly done a grave thing."

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

يقول تعالى مخبرا عن موسى وصاحبه ، وهو الخضر ، أنهما انطلقا لما توافقا واصطحبا ، واشترط عليه ألا يسأله عن شيء أنكره حتى يكون هو الذي يبتدئه من تلقاء نفسه بشرحه وبيانه ، فركبا في السفينة . وقد تقدم في الحديث كيف ركبا في السفينة ، وأنهم عرفوا الخضر ، فحملوهما بغير نول - يعني بغير أجرة - تكرمة للخضر . فلما استقلت بهم السفينة في البحر ، ولججت أي : دخلت اللجة ، قام الخضر فخرقها ، واستخرج لوحا من ألواحها ثم رقعها . فلم يملك موسى ، عليه السلام ، نفسه أن قال منكرا عليه : ( أخرقتها لتغرق أهلها ) . وهذه اللام لام العاقبة لا لام التعليل ، كما قال الشاعر : لدوا للموت وابنوا للخراب( لقد جئت شيئا إمرا ) قال مجاهد : منكرا . وقال قتادة عجبا .
