33:38
مَّا كَانَ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِىِّ مِنْ حَرَجٍۢ فِيمَا فَرَضَ ٱللَّهُ لَهُۥ ۖ سُنَّةَ ٱللَّهِ فِى ٱلَّذِينَ خَلَوْا۟ مِن قَبْلُ ۚ وَكَانَ أَمْرُ ٱللَّهِ قَدَرًۭا مَّقْدُورًا ٣٨
There is no reproach for the Prophet in that which Allah maketh his due. That was Allah's way with those who passed away of old - and the commandment of Allah is certain destiny -
There is not to be upon the Prophet any discomfort concerning that which Allah has imposed upon him. [This is] the established way of Allah with those [prophets] who have passed on before. And ever is the command of Allah a destiny decreed.
There could be no hindrance to the Prophet regarding what Allah ordained for him. Such has been Allah's Way (with the Prophets) who went before. Allah's command is a decree firmly determined.
يَقُولُ تَعَالَى: ﴿مَا كَانَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ مِنْ حَرَجٍ فِيمَا فَرَضَ اللَّهُ لَهُ﴾ أَيْ: فِيمَا أَحَلَّ لَهُ وَأَمَرَهُ بِهِ مِنْ تَزْوِيجِ زَيْنَبَ الَّتِي طَلَّقَهَا دَعِيُّه زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ.
وَقَوْلُهُ: ﴿سُنَّةَ اللَّهِ فِي الَّذِينَ خَلَوْا مِنْ قَبْلُ﴾ أَيْ: هَذَا حُكْمُ اللَّهِ فِي الْأَنْبِيَاءِ قَبْلَهُ، لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيَأْمُرَهُمْ بِشَيْءٍ وَعَلَيْهِمْ فِي ذَلِكَ حَرج، وَهَذَا رَدٌّ عَلَى مَنْ تَوَهَّم مِن الْمُنَافِقِينَ نَقْصًا فِي تَزْوِيجِهِ امْرَأَةَ زَيْدٍ مَوْلَاهُ ودَعيه، الَّذِي كَانَ قَدْ تَبَنَّاهُ.
﴿وَكَانَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ قَدَرًا مَقْدُورًا﴾ أَيْ: وَكَانَ أَمْرُهُ الَّذِي يقدِّره كَائِنًا لَا مَحَالَةَ، وَوَاقِعًا لَا مَحِيدَ عَنْهُ وَلَا مَعْدَلَ، فَمَا شَاءَ [اللَّهُ] [[زيادة من ت.]] كَانَ، وَمَا لَمْ يَشَأْ لَمْ يَكُنْ.
