Tafsir

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

Ash-Shuraa 42:27

Word by word

۞ وَلَوْ بَسَطَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلرِّزْقَ لِعِبَادِهِۦ لَبَغَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَـٰكِن يُنَزِّلُ بِقَدَرٍ مَّا يَشَآءُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ بِعِبَادِهِۦ خَبِيرٌۢ بَصِيرٌ

And if Allāh had extended [excessively] provision for His servants, they would have committed tyranny throughout the earth. But He sends [it] down in an amount which He wills. Indeed He is, of His servants, Aware and Seeing.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

وقوله : ( ولو بسط الله الرزق لعباده لبغوا في الأرض ) أي : لو أعطاهم فوق حاجتهم من الرزق ، لحملهم ذلك على البغي والطغيان من بعضهم على بعض ، أشرا وبطرا .وقال قتادة : كان يقال : خير العيش ما لا يلهيك ولا يطغيك . وذكر قتادة حديث : " إنما أخاف عليكم ما يخرج الله من زهرة الحياة الدنيا " وسؤال السائل : أيأتي الخير بالشر ؟ الحديث .وقوله : ( ولكن ينزل بقدر ما يشاء إنه بعباده خبير بصير ) أي : ولكن يرزقهم من الرزق ما يختاره مما فيه صلاحهم ، وهو أعلم بذلك فيغني من يستحق الغنى ، ويفقر من يستحق الفقر . كما جاء في الحديث المروي : " إن من عبادي لمن لا يصلحه إلا الغنى ، ولو أفقرته لأفسدت عليه دينه ، وإن من عبادي لمن لا يصلحه إلا الفقر ، ولو أغنيته لأفسدت عليه دينه "
