6:116
وَإِن تُطِعْ أَكْثَرَ مَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ يُضِلُّوكَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَإِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَخْرُصُونَ ١١٦
If thou obeyedst most of those on earth they would mislead thee far from Allah's way. They follow naught but an opinion, and they do but guess.
And if you obey most of those upon the earth, they will mislead you from the way of Allah. They follow not except assumption, and they are not but falsifying.
(O Muhammad!) If you obey the majority of those who live on earth, they will lead you away from Allah's path. They only follow idle fancies, indulging in conjecture.
يُخْبِرُ تَعَالَى عَنْ حَالِ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ أَنَّهُ الضَّلَالُ، كَمَا قَالَ تَعَالَى: ﴿وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ الأوَّلِينَ﴾ [الصَّافَّاتِ: ٧١] ، وَقَالَ تَعَالَى: ﴿وَمَا أَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ وَلَوْ حَرَصْتَ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ﴾ [يُوسُفَ: ١٠٣] ، وَهُمْ فِي ضَلَالِهِمْ لَيْسُوا عَلَى يَقِينٍ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ، وَإِنَّمَا هُمْ فِي ظُنُونٍ كَاذِبَةٍ وَحُسْبَانٍ بَاطِلٍ، ﴿إِنْ يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلا الظَّنَّ وَإِنْ هُمْ إِلا يَخْرُصُونَ﴾ فَإِنَّ الْخَرْصَ هُوَ الْحَزْرُ، وَمِنْهُ خَرْصُ النَّخْلِ، وَهُوَ حَزْرُ مَا عَلَيْهَا مِنَ التَّمْرِ وَكَذَلِكَ كُلُّهُ قَدَرُ اللَّهِ وَمَشِيئَتُهُ، وَ ﴿هُوَ أَعْلَمُ مَنْ يَضِلُّ عَنْ سَبِيلِهِ﴾ فَيُيَسِّرُهُ لِذَلِكَ ﴿وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِينَ﴾ فَيُيَسِّرُهُمْ لذلك، وكل ميسر لما خلق له.
