Tafsir

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

Al-Anfal 8:43

Word by word

إِذْ يُرِيكَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ فِى مَنَامِكَ قَلِيلًا ۖ وَلَوْ أَرَىٰكَهُمْ كَثِيرًا لَّفَشِلْتُمْ وَلَتَنَـٰزَعْتُمْ فِى ٱلْأَمْرِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَلَّمَ ۗ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمٌۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ

[Remember, O Muḥammad], when Allāh showed them to you in your dream as few; and if He had shown them to you as many, you [believers] would have lost courage and would have disputed in the matter [of whether to fight], but Allāh saved [you from that]. Indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

قال مجاهد : أراه الله إياهم في منامه قليلا فأخبر النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - أصحابه بذلك ، فكان تثبيتا لهم .وكذا قال ابن إسحاق وغير واحد . وحكى ابن جرير عن بعضهم أنه رآهم بعينه التي ينام بها .وقد روى ابن أبي حاتم : حدثنا أبي ، حدثنا يوسف بن موسى المدبر ، حدثنا أبو قتيبة ، عن سهل السراج ، عن الحسن في قوله : ( إذ يريكهم الله في منامك قليلا ) قال : بعينك .وهذا القول غريب ، وقد صرح بالمنام هاهنا ، فلا حاجة إلى التأويل الذي لا دليل عليه .وقوله : ( ولو أراكهم كثيرا لفشلتم ) أي : لجبنتم عنهم واختلفتم فيما بينكم ، ( ولكن الله سلم ) أي : من ذلك : بأن أراكهم قليلا ( إنه عليم بذات الصدور ) أي : بما تجنه الضمائر ، وتنطوي عليه الأحشاء ، فيعلم خائنة الأعين وما تخفي الصدور .
