5:70
لَقَدْ أَخَذْنَا مِيثَـٰقَ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ وَأَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَيْهِمْ رُسُلًۭا ۖ كُلَّمَا جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۢ بِمَا لَا تَهْوَىٰٓ أَنفُسُهُمْ فَرِيقًۭا كَذَّبُوا۟ وَفَرِيقًۭا يَقْتُلُونَ ٧٠
We made a covenant of old with the Children of Israel and We sent unto them messengers. As often as a messenger came unto them with that which their souls desired not (they became rebellious). Some (of them) they denied and some they slew.
We had already taken the covenant of the Children of Israel and had sent to them messengers. Whenever there came to them a messenger with what their souls did not desire, a party [of messengers] they denied, and another party they killed.
And We took a covenant from the Children of Israel and sent to them many Messengers. But whenever any Messenger brought to them something that did not suit their desires, they gave the lie to some of them and killed the others,
يَذْكُرُ تَعَالَى أَنَّهُ أَخَذَ الْعُهُودَ وَالْمَوَاثِيقَ عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَلَى السَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ، فَنَقَضُوا تِلْكَ الْعُهُودَ وَالْمَوَاثِيقَ، وَاتَّبَعُوا آرَاءَهُمْ وَأَهْوَاءَهُمْ وَقَدَّمُوهَا عَلَى الشَّرَائِعِ، فَمَا وَافَقَهُمْ مِنْهَا قَبِلُوهُ، وَمَا خَالَفَهُمْ رَدُّوهُ؛ وَلِهَذَا قَالَ: ﴿كُلَّمَا جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ بِمَا لَا تَهْوَى أَنْفُسُهُمْ فَرِيقًا كَذَّبُوا وَفَرِيقًا يَقْتُلُونَ وَحَسِبُوا أَلا تَكُونَ فِتْنَةٌ﴾ أَيْ: وَحَسِبُوا أَلَّا يَتَرَتَّبَ لَهُمْ شَرٌّ عَلَى مَا صَنَعُوا، فَتَرَتَّبَ، وَهُوَ أَنَّهُمْ عَمُوا عَنِ الْحَقِّ وصَمُّوا، فَلَا يَسْمَعُونَ حَقًّا [[في د: "فلا يستمعون خيرا".]] وَلَا يَهْتَدُونَ إِلَيْهِ، ﴿ثُمَّ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ﴾ أَيْ: مِمَّا كَانُوا فِيهِ ﴿ثُمَّ عَمُوا وَصَمُّوا﴾
أَيْ: بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ﴿ [وَصَمُّوا] [[زيادة من ر.]] كَثِيرٌ مِنْهُمْ وَاللَّهُ بَصِيرٌ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ﴾ أَيْ: مُطَّلِعٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَعَلِيمٌ بِمَنْ يَسْتَحِقُّ الْهِدَايَةَ ممن يستحق الغواية.
