Tafsīr

قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

تو برای همه جهانیان مبعوث شده‌ای

«کافْة» از مادةٌ «کفٌ» به معنای کف دست است و چون انسان با دست خود اشیا را می‌گیرد یا از خود دور می‌کندء این کلمه گاهی جمع کردن و گاهی منع کردن معنی می‌دهد. در این آّیه نیز هر دو معنی را مفسران احتمال داده‌اند. اگر معنی آن» جمع کردن باشد مفهوم یه این می‌شود که دعوت پیامبرء دعوتی جهانی و شامل جمیع مردم است. روایات متعددی که در تفسیر یه نقل شده نیز همین تفسیر را تقویت می‌کند. تفسیر دومی که برای آیه ذکر شده از معنی منع کردن گرفته شده و طبق این تفسیرء «کافْة» صفت پیامبر می‌شود و منظور آیه این است که خداوند پیامبر را همچون یک بازدارنده از کفر و گناه برای انسان‌ها فرستاده است. تفسیر یکم» صحیح‌تر به نظر می‌رسد. > **پانوشت صفحه (منابع):** > ۱- نمونه, چ۰۱۸ ص۷۹ ۲- پیشین» ص۸۲ ۳ پیشین» ص ‎٩۲‏ > ۳ پیشین» ص۸۲ > ۳- پیشین» ص ‎٩۲‏ > **Cited sources** (grade before any load-bearing use): Tafsīr Nemūneh.
