قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

ثروتمند خودخواه بنی‌اسرائیل

معروف است که قارون از بستگان نزدیک (پسر عمو یا پسر خاله) موسی(ع) بود و اطلاعات و معلومات زیادی از تورات داشت. نخست در صف موّمنان بود؛ ولی غرور ثروتء او را به آغوش کفر کشید و به قعر زمین فرستاد. در تواریخ می‌خوانیم که او از یک سو نمایندةٌ فرعون در بنی‌اسرائیل بود و از سوی دیگرء خزانه‌دار گنج‌های فرعون. فرعون برای این‌که بنی‌اسرائیل را به زنجیر بکشد و تمام هستی آنها را غارت کندء منافق حیله‌باز و بی‌رحمی از میان بنی‌اسرائیل برگزید و زمام اختیار آنها را به او سپرد تا به نفع دستگاه جبارش آنها را استثمار کند و بر خاک سیاه بنشاند و از این رهگذرء ثروت کلانی نیز برای خود کسب کند. بعد از نابودی فرعون» مقدار عظیمی از ثروت و گنج‌های او در دست قارون ماند و موسی(ع) مجال پیدا نکرده بود که این ثروت بادآوردةٌ فرعونی را به نفع مستضففان از او بگیرد. سرانجام هنگامی که موسی(ع) تصمیم گرفت از او زکات بگیردء پرده از چهره‌اش کنار رفت و چهرة منحوس او برای همه آشکار گشت.

al-Mīzān

al-Mīzān

The verse opens the Qurʾān's parable of wealth + baghy (insolent transgression) as the engine of ruin: kinship and riches do not shield; farḥ (gloating self-sufficiency) is the named fault, answered three verses on by the earth swallowing him (28:81).

Note

Qārūn forms a triad with Pharaoh and Hāmān (29:39, 40:24) — arrogant power in three registers (wealth, rule, ministry); the Qurʾān itself draws the parallel.

Majmaʿ al-Bayān

Ẓāhir (apparent)

Qārūn was of Moses' people but grew insolent (baghā) against them; God had given him treasures whose very keys would burden a band of strong men; his people warned: "Do not exult — God loves not the exultant."

Bāṭin / reported

Riwāʾī tafsīrs carry narrative embellishment (Qārūn as Moses' cousin, alchemy, the key-count) — story-detail, quoted not load-bearing.
