Tafsir

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

Al-A'raf 7:177

Word by word

سَآءَ مَثَلًا ٱلْقَوْمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا وَأَنفُسَهُمْ كَانُوا۟ يَظْلِمُونَ

How evil an example [is that of] the people who denied Our signs and used to wrong themselves.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

وقوله : ( ساء مثلا القوم الذين كذبوا بآياتنا وأنفسهم كانوا يظلمون ) يقول تعالى ساء مثلا مثل القوم الذين كذبوا بآياتنا ، أي : ساء مثلهم أن شبهوا بالكلاب التي لا همة لها إلا في تحصيل أكلة أو شهوة ، فمن خرج عن حيز العلم والهدى وأقبل على شهوة نفسه ، واتبع هواه ، صار شبيها بالكلب ، وبئس المثل مثله ; ولهذا ثبت في الصحيح أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال : " ليس لنا مثل السوء ، العائد في هبته كالكلب يعود في قيئه "وقوله : ( وأنفسهم كانوا يظلمون ) أي : ما ظلمهم الله ، ولكن هم ظلموا أنفسهم ، بإعراضهم عن اتباع الهدى ، وطاعة المولى ، إلى الركون إلى دار البلى ، والإقبال على تحصيل اللذات وموافقة الهوى .
