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

Ghafir 40:37

Word by word

أَسْبَـٰبَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ فَأَطَّلِعَ إِلَىٰٓ إِلَـٰهِ مُوسَىٰ وَإِنِّى لَأَظُنُّهُۥ كَـٰذِبًا ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِفِرْعَوْنَ سُوٓءُ عَمَلِهِۦ وَصُدَّ عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ ۚ وَمَا كَيْدُ فِرْعَوْنَ إِلَّا فِى تَبَابٍ

The ways into the heavens - so that I may look at the deity of Moses; but indeed, I think he is a liar." And thus was made attractive to Pharaoh the evil of his deed, and he was averted from the [right] way. And the plan of Pharaoh was not except in ruin.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

وقوله : ( لعلي أبلغ الأسباب أسباب السماوات ) قال سعيد بن جبير ، وأبو صالح : أبواب السماوات . وقيل : طرق السماوات ( فأطلع إلى إله موسى وإني لأظنه كاذبا ) ، وهذا من كفره وتمرده ، أنه كذب موسى في أن الله - عز وجل - أرسله إليه ، قال الله تعالى : ( وكذلك زين لفرعون سوء عمله وصد عن السبيل ) أي : بصنيعه هذا الذي أراد أن يوهم به الرعية أنه يعمل شيئا يتوصل به إلى تكذيب موسى - عليه السلام - ولهذا قال تعالى : ( وما كيد فرعون إلا في تباب ) قال ابن عباس [ رضي الله عنهما ] ، ومجاهد : يعني إلا في خسار .
