قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

مشرکان خود را از پیامبر پنهان می‌کردند

در کتب روایی و تاریخی آمده است که مشرکان و منکران رسالت رسول اکرم(ص) تحدّی خدای سبحان را پذیرفتند و در صدد مبارزه با پیامبر بر آمدند و خواستند مانند قرآن و سوره‌های آن را بیاورند. مّت‌ها سخنوران آن زمان کوشیدند و عدّه‌ای در کنار کعبه با یکدیگر هم‌پیمان شدند که در مدّت یک سال, تمام قرآن یا بخشی از سور آن را نقض کنند؛ ولی از آوردن مثفل یک سورةٌکوچک نیز عاجز ماندند و اینجا بود که زبان به تهمت گشودند و نسبت سحر و افترا به پیامبر(ص) دادند. این آیه, در بارة این افراد سخن می‌گوید که در مجلس مبارزة علمی شرمنده می‌شدند و سر خم می‌کردند و لباس بر سر می‌کشیدند و بیرون می‌خزیدند؛ زیر توانایی مبارزه با قرآن کریم و تحدّی آن را نداشتند.؟ > **پانوشت صفحه (منابع):** > ۱- نمونهء چ۸ ص ۳ > ۴- تفسیر موضوعی, ج۱» ص ۱۷۴ > ۱- نمونهء چ۸ ص ۳ ۲- پیشین» ص ۱۰ ۳ المیزان» جچ۱۰ ص ۱۳۶ > ۳ المیزان» ج۰ ص ۱۳۶ > **Cited sources** (grade before any load-bearing use): Tafsīr Nemūneh, al-Mīzān, Tafsīr-i Mawḍūʿī.
