رَّبَّنَآ إِنِّىٓ أَسْكَنتُ مِن ذُرِّيَّتِى بِوَادٍ غَيْرِ ذِى زَرْعٍ عِندَ بَيْتِكَ ٱلْمُحَرَّمِ رَبَّنَا لِيُقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ فَٱجْعَلْ أَفْـِٔدَةًۭ مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ تَهْوِىٓ إِلَيْهِمْ وَٱرْزُقْهُم مِّنَ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَشْكُرُونَ ٣٧
Our Lord! Lo! I have settled some of my posterity in an uncultivable valley near unto Thy holy House, our Lord! that they may establish proper worship; so incline some hearts of men that they may yearn toward them, and provide Thou them with fruits in order that they may be thankful.
Our Lord, I have settled some of my descendants in an uncultivated valley near Your sacred House, our Lord, that they may establish prayer. So make hearts among the people incline toward them and provide for them from the fruits that they might be grateful.

وَهَذَا يَدُلُّ عَلَى أَنَّ هَذَا دُعَاءٌ ثَانٍ بَعْدَ الدُّعَاءِ الْأَوَّلِ الَّذِي دَعَا بِهِ عِنْدَمَا وَلَّى عَنْ هَاجَرَ وَوَلَدِهَا، وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ بِنَاءِ الْبَيْتِ، وَهَذَا كَانَ بَعْدَ بِنَائِهِ، تَأْكِيدًا وَرَغْبَةً إِلَى اللَّهِ، عَزَّ وَجَلَّ؛ وَلِهَذَا قَالَ: ﴿عِنْدَ بَيْتِكَ الْمُحَرَّمِ﴾
وَقَوْلُهُ: ﴿رَبَّنَا لِيُقِيمُوا الصَّلاةَ﴾ قَالَ ابْنُ جَرِيرٍ: هُوَ مُتَعَلِّقٌ بِقَوْلِهِ: "الْمُحَرَّمِ" أَيْ: إِنَّمَا جَعَلْتَهُ مُحَرَّمًا لِيَتَمَكَّنَ أَهْلُهُ مِنْ إِقَامَةِ الصلاة عنده.
﴿فَاجْعَلْ أَفْئِدَةً مِنَ النَّاسِ تَهْوِي إِلَيْهِمْ﴾ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، وَمُجَاهِدٌ، وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ: لَوْ قَالَ: "أَفْئِدَةَ النَّاسِ" لَازْدَحَمَ عَلَيْهِ فَارِسُ وَالرُّومُ وَالْيَهُودُ [[في ت: "واليهود والروم".]] وَالنَّصَارَى وَالنَّاسُ كُلُّهُمْ، وَلَكِنْ قَالَ: ﴿مِنَ النَّاسِ﴾ فَاخْتَصَّ بِهِ الْمُسْلِمُونَ.
وَقَوْلُهُ: ﴿وَارْزُقْهُمْ مِنَ الثَّمَرَاتِ﴾ أَيْ: لِيَكُونَ ذَلِكَ عَوْنًا لَهُمْ عَلَى طَاعَتِكَ وَكَمَا أَنَّهُ ﴿وَادٍ غَيْرِ ذِي زَرْعٍ﴾ فَاجْعَلْ لَهُمْ ثِمَارًا يَأْكُلُونَهَا. وَقَدِ اسْتَجَابَ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ، كَمَا قَالَ: ﴿أَوَلَمْ نُمَكِّنْ لَهُمْ حَرَمًا آمِنًا يُجْبَى إِلَيْهِ ثَمَرَاتُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ رِزْقًا مِنْ لَدُنَّا﴾ [الْقَصَصِ: ٥٧] وَهَذَا مِنْ لُطْفِهِ تَعَالَى وَكَرَمِهِ وَرَحْمَتِهِ وَبَرَكَتِهِ: أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ فِي الْبَلَدِ الْحَرَامِ مَكَّةَ شَجَرَةٌ مُثْمِرَةٌ، وَهِيَ تُجْبَى إِلَيْهَا ثَمَرَاتُ مَا حَوْلَهَا، اسْتِجَابَةً لِخَلِيلِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ.
