283

وَإِن عَلَىٰ وَلَمْ فَإِنْ ٱلَّذِى وَلَا وَمَن فَإِنَّهُۥٓ بِمَا ﴿٢٨٣﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

And if you are on a journey and cannot find a scribe, then a security deposit [should be] taken. And if one of you entrusts another, then let him who is entrusted discharge his trust [faithfully] and let him fear Allah, his Lord. And do not conceal testimony, for whoever conceals it - his heart is indeed sinful, and Allah is Knowing of what you do.

قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

محاسبة آنچه بندگان در دل دارند

گاه تصور می‌شود که این آّیه با احادیث فراوانی که می‌فرماید «نیّت گناه» گناه نیست» مخالف است. برخی از مفسران بزرگ در پاسخ این اشکال گفته‌اند: مراد از جملةٌ «ما فی انفسکم»» صفات و اخلاق خوب و بد است که در دل ثابت و مستقر شده است؛ مانند: ایمان» کفرء دوست داشتن» دشمن داشتن و امثال این صفات که در جان آدمی ثابت شده و اعمال او از آن صفات سرچشمه می‌گیرد؛ اما مطالبی که گاهی بی‌اختیار به ذهن می‌رسدء مانند فکر گناه - که بدون اختیار به ذهن برسد و انسان تصمیم بر انجام آَن نداشته باشد - مشمول معنای این آیه نیست. ۵. فضیلت قرائت دو آَیةٌ آخر سورة بقره: روایات بسیاری در فضیلت خواندن این یه شریف و یه بعد وارد شده و مضمون برخی از روایات بدین شرح است که هر کس این دو یه را بعد از نماز عشا بخواندء ثواب کسی را دارد که تمام شب را به عبادت و نماز پرداخته است. همچنین فرموده‌اند که اگر در خانه‌ای این آیه خوانده شودء شیطان نمی تواند به آن خانه داخل شود.
