Tafsir

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

Al-Kahf 18:80

Word by word

وَأَمَّا ٱلْغُلَـٰمُ فَكَانَ أَبَوَاهُ مُؤْمِنَيْنِ فَخَشِينَآ أَن يُرْهِقَهُمَا طُغْيَـٰنًا وَكُفْرًا

And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

قد تقدم أن هذا الغلام كان اسمه جيسور . وفي الحديث عن ابن عباس ، عن أبي بن كعب ، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال : " الغلام الذي قتله الخضر طبع يوم طبع كافرا " . رواه ابن جرير من حديث ابن إسحاق ، عن سعيد ، عن ابن عباس ، به ؛ ولهذا قال : ( فكان أبواه مؤمنين فخشينا أن يرهقهما طغيانا وكفرا ) أي : يحملهما حبه على متابعته على الكفر .قال قتادة : قد فرح به أبواه حين ولد ، وحزنا عليه حين قتل ، ولو بقي كان فيه هلاكهما ، فليرض امرؤ بقضاء الله ، فإن قضاء الله للمؤمن فيما يكره خير له من قضائه فيما يحب .وصح في الحديث : " لا يقضي الله للمؤمن قضاء إلا كان خيرا له " . وقال تعالى : ( وعسى أن تكرهوا شيئا وهو خير لكم ) [ البقرة : 216 ] .
