قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

۳۹ آنها که در گرو اعمالشان نیستند

این یات بیان می‌کند که همه انسان‌ها گروگان اعمالشان هستند؛ کویی تمام وجود آنها در کرو انجام وظایف و تکالیف آنهاست: اکر آن را انجام دادند، آزاد می شوند؛ و گرنه در قید اسارت باقی خواهند ماند. اصحاب یمین اما از قید این اسارت آزادند. آنها کسانی هستند که دارای ایمان و اعمال صالح‌اند و گناهان مختصر آنها تحت‌الشعاع خوبی‌های آنها قرار می‌گیرد. پس یا بدون حساب وارد بود.» شیعیانمان اصحاب یمین هستیم و هر کس با ما اهل بیت دشمنی ورزد. در اسارت اعمال خویش خواهد بود.» > **پانوشت صفحه (منابع):** > ۱- المیزان» ج ۰۲۰ ص۱۰۰ > ۱- المیزان» ج ۰۲۰ ص۱۰۰ ۲- پیشین» ص۹۶ ۳ نمونه چ ۲۵ ص۲۵۰ > ۳ نمونه ج ۲۵ ص۲۵۰ > **Cited sources** (grade before any load-bearing use): Tafsīr Nemūneh, al-Mīzān.
