Surah Al-Ghaafir · Ayah 28·Makkī

28

مِّنْ فِرْعَوْنَ أَن وَقَدْ مِن وَإِن فَعَلَيْهِ وَإِن ٱلَّذِى إِنَّ لَا مَنْ هُوَ ﴿٢٨﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

And a believing man from the family of Pharaoh who concealed his faith said, "Do you kill a man [merely] because he says, 'My Lord is Allah' while he has brought you clear proofs from your Lord? And if he should be lying, then upon him is [the consequence of] his lie; but if he should be truthful, there will strike you some of what he promises you. Indeed, Allah does not guide one who is a transgressor and a liar.

قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

موّمن آل فرعون

از آیات قرآن همین قدر استفاده می‌شود که او مردی از فرعونیان بود که به موسی(ع) ایمان آورده بود؛ اما ایمان خود را پنهان می‌داشت. در دل به پیامبر خدا عشق می‌ورزید و خود را موظف به دفاع از او می‌دید. او مردی هوشیار و دقیق و وقت‌شناس و از نظر منطق بسیار نیرومند و قوی بود که در لحظات حساس به یاری موسی(ع) شتافت و چنان که در دنبالةٌ این آیات خواهد آمدء او را از توطئة خطرناک قتل رهایی بخشید. در روایات و سخنان مفسران» توصیفات بیشتری در بارهٌ او آمده است؛ از جمله این که بعضی گفته‌اند که او پسرعمو یا پسرخالةٌ فرعون بود و تعبیر «آل فرعون» را نیز شاهد بر این معنی دانسته‌اند؛ زیرا این تعبیر معمولاً در مورد خویشاوندان به کار می‌رود؛ هر چند در مورد دوستان و اطرافیان نیز گفته می‌شود. بعضی هم روایت کرده‌اند که او خازن و سرپرست گنج‌های فرعون بوده است. در روایتی از پیامبر اسلام(ص) می‌خوانیم: «نخستین تصدیق‌کنندگان (پیامبران بزرگ الهی) سه کس بودند: «حبیب نجار» یا موْمن آل یس؛ همان کسی که به مردم (انطاکیه) می‌گفت: «از فرستادگان الهی پیروی کنید. از کسانی پیروی کنید که پاداشی از شما نمی‌خواهند.» و «حزقیل» یا مْمن آل فرعون و علی بن ابی‌طالب(ع)» و او از همه برتر است.» > **پانوشت صفحه (منابع):** > ۱- نمونهء ج ۲۰ ص ۷۹ > ۲- پیشین» ص ۸۷ > **Cited sources** (grade before any load-bearing use): Tafsīr Nemūneh.
