Tafsir

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

Ghafir 40:35

Word by word

ٱلَّذِينَ يُجَـٰدِلُونَ فِىٓ ءَايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ سُلْطَـٰنٍ أَتَىٰهُمْ ۖ كَبُرَ مَقْتًا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَعِندَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَطْبَعُ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ قَلْبِ مُتَكَبِّرٍ جَبَّارٍ

Those who dispute concerning the signs of Allāh without an authority having come to them - great is hatred [of them] in the sight of Allāh and in the sight of those who have believed. Thus does Allāh seal over every heart [belonging to] an arrogant tyrant.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

ثم قال : ( الذين يجادلون في آيات الله بغير سلطان أتاهم ) أي : الذين يدفعون الحق بالباطل ، ويجادلون الحجج بغير دليل وحجة معهم من الله ، فإن الله يمقت على ذلك أشد المقت ; ولهذا قال تعالى : ( كبر مقتا عند الله وعند الذين آمنوا ) أي : والمؤمنون أيضا يبغضون من تكون هذه صفته ، فإن من كانت هذه صفته ، يطبع الله على قلبه ، فلا يعرف بعد ذلك معروفا ، ولا ينكر منكرا ; ولهذا قال : ( كذلك يطبع الله على كل قلب متكبر ) أي : على اتباع الحق ) جبار ) .وروى ابن أبي حاتم عن عكرمة - وحكي عن الشعبي - أنهما قالا : لا يكون الإنسان جبارا حتى يقتل نفسين .وقال أبو عمران الجوني وقتادة : آية الجبابرة القتل بغير حق .
