Tafsir

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

Al-A'raf 7:137

Word by word

وَأَوْرَثْنَا ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا۟ يُسْتَضْعَفُونَ مَشَـٰرِقَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَغَـٰرِبَهَا ٱلَّتِى بَـٰرَكْنَا فِيهَا ۖ وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ عَلَىٰ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ بِمَا صَبَرُوا۟ ۖ وَدَمَّرْنَا مَا كَانَ يَصْنَعُ فِرْعَوْنُ وَقَوْمُهُۥ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْرِشُونَ

And We caused the people who had been oppressed to inherit the eastern regions of the land and the western ones, which We had blessed. And the good word [i.e., decree] of your Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel because of what they had patiently endured. And We destroyed [all] that Pharaoh and his people were producing and what they had been building.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

وأخبر تعالى أنه أورث القوم الذين كانوا يستضعفون - وهم بنو إسرائيل - مشارق الأرض ومغاربها ( 137 ) ) كما قال تعالى : ( ونريد أن نمن على الذين استضعفوا في الأرض ونجعلهم أئمة ونجعلهم الوارثين ونمكن لهم في الأرض ونري فرعون وهامان وجنودهما منهم ما كانوا يحذرون ) [ القصص : 5 ، 6 ] وقال تعالى : ( كم تركوا من جنات وعيون وزروع ومقام كريم ونعمة كانوا فيها فاكهين كذلك وأورثناها قوما آخرين ) [ الدخان : 25 - 28 ]وعن الحسن البصري وقتادة ، في قوله : ( مشارق الأرض ومغاربها التي باركنا فيها ) يعني : الشام .وقوله : ( وتمت كلمة ربك الحسنى على بني إسرائيل بما صبروا ) قال مجاهد وابن جرير : وهي قوله تعالى : ( ونريد أن نمن على الذين استضعفوا في الأرض ونجعلهم أئمة ونجعلهم الوارثين ونمكن لهم في الأرض ونري فرعون وهامان وجنودهما منهم ما كانوا يحذرون )وقوله : ( ودمرنا ما كان يصنع فرعون وقومه ) أي : وخربنا ما كان فرعون وقومه يصنعونه من العمارات والمزارع ، ( وما كانوا يعرشون ) قال ابن عباس ومجاهد : ( يعرشون ) يبنون .
