23

فَلَمَّآ إِذَا هُمْ فِى إِنَّمَا عَلَىٰٓ ثُمَّ إِلَيْنَا بِمَا ﴿٢٣﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

But when He saves them, at once they commit injustice upon the earth without right. O mankind, your injustice is only against yourselves, [being merely] the enjoyment of worldly life. Then to Us is your return, and We will inform you of what you used to do.

ظلم و ستم و عقوبت سریع آن

در روایتی از امام صادق(ع) نقل شده است: «سه چیز است که (کیفر و آثار آن) به انجام‌دهندة آن باز می‌گردد: پیمان‌شکنی, ستم و نیرنگ» سپس حضرت این آیه را تلاوت فرمود: «ای مردم» ستم‌های شما به زیان خود شماست.» در روایت دیگر از امام باقر(ع) می‌خوانیم: «پرشتاب‌ترین شرٌ (ی که به انسان می‌رسد)» کیفر ظلم و ستم است.» در روایت دیگری از پیامبر(ص) می‌خوانیم: «اگر (به فرض) کوهی به کوه دیگر ظلم کند. (عاقبت به خاطر همان ظلم) متلاشی خواهد شد.»
