Surah Al-A'raaf · Ayah 143·Makkī

143

وَلَمَّا مُوسَىٰ إِلَيْكَ لَن وَلَٰكِنِ إِلَى فَإِنِ فَسَوْفَ فَلَمَّا مُوسَىٰ فَلَمَّآ إِلَيْكَ وَأَنَا۠ ﴿١٤٣﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

And when Moses arrived at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said, "My Lord, show me [Yourself] that I may look at You." [Allah] said, "You will not see Me, but look at the mountain; if it should remain in place, then you will see Me." But when his Lord appeared to the mountain, He rendered it level, and Moses fell unconscious. And when he awoke, he said, "Exalted are You! I have repented to You, and I am the first of the believers."

قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

چرا موسی(ع) از خدا خواست که او را بییند؟

روشن‌ترین جواب این است که موسی(ع) این تقاضا را از زبان قوم خود بیان کرد؛ زیرا جمعی از جاهلان بنی‌اسرائیل اصرار داشتند که باید خدا را ببینند تا ایمان آورند (نساء - ۱۵۳)و او از طرف خدا مأُموریت پیدا کرد که این تقاضا را مطرح کند تا همگان پاسخ کافی بشنوند. برخی از روایات معصومین(ع) نیز این مطلب را تأیید می‌کند. > **پانوشت صفحه (منابع):** > ۱- المیزان» ج۸» ص ۲۳۸ > ۱- المیزان» چ۸» ص ۲۳۸ ۲- نمونه, ج۶» ص ۳۴۰ ۳ پیشین» ص ۳۴۳ > ۲ نمونه, چ۶. ص ۳۴۰ > ۳- پیشین» ص ۳۴۳ > **Cited sources** (grade before any load-bearing use): Tafsīr Nemūneh, al-Mīzān, al-Kāfī.
