Tafsir

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

Az-Zumar 39:29

Word by word

ضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلًا رَّجُلًا فِيهِ شُرَكَآءُ مُتَشَـٰكِسُونَ وَرَجُلًا سَلَمًا لِّرَجُلٍ هَلْ يَسْتَوِيَانِ مَثَلًا ۚ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

Allāh presents an example: a man [i.e., slave] owned by quarreling partners and another belonging exclusively to one man - are they equal in comparison? Praise be to Allāh! But most of them do not know.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

ثم قال : ( ضرب الله مثلا رجلا فيه شركاء متشاكسون ) أي : يتنازعون في ذلك العبد المشترك بينهم ، ( ورجلا سلما لرجل ) أي : خالصا لرجل ، لا يملكه أحد غيره ، ( هل يستويان مثلا ) أي : لا يستوي هذا وهذا . كذلك لا يستوي المشرك الذي يعبد آلهة مع الله ، والمؤمن المخلص الذي لا يعبد إلا الله وحده لا شريك له . فأين هذا من هذا ؟قال ابن عباس ، ومجاهد ، وغير واحد : هذه الآية ضربت مثلا للمشرك والمخلص ، ولما كان هذا المثل ظاهرا بينا جليا ، قال : ( الحمد لله ) أي : على إقامة الحجة عليهم ، ( بل أكثرهم لا يعلمون ) أي : فلهذا يشركون بالله .
