Tafsīr

قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

آیا ممکن است شیطان چیزی را از یاد پیامبر خدا ببرد؟

شاید پس از تلاوت این جمله از آّیه» این سوّال به ذهن برسد که آیا ممکن است شیطان در فکر و ذهن پیامبری مانند یوشع بن نون تصرف کند؛ در حالی که می‌دانیم پیامبران در مقابل شیطان مصونیّت دارند. در پاسخ باید گفت که معصوم بودن پیامبران از شیطان بدین معناست که شیطان نمی‌تواند ایشان را به گناه بکشد؛ اما دلیلی نداریم که شیطان نتواند پیامبران را لت کند و مثلاً چیزی را از یاد آنها ببرد. از برخی از یات قرآن نیز این مطلب استفاده می‌شود؛ مانند أَِةُ ۴۱ سورةٌ ص که می‌فرماید: «و به خاطر بیاور بندةٌ ما ایوب را؛ هنگامی که پروردگارش را خواند (و گفت: پروردگارا) شیطان مرا به رنج و عذاب افکنده است.»
