Tafsir al-Sa'di

Salafi Approved
Abdur-Rahman ibn Nasir al-Sa'diArabic

يذكر تعالى نعمته على العباد بما سخر لهم من الفلك والسفن والمراكب وألهمهم كيفية صنعتها، وسخر لها البحر الملتطم يحملها على ظهره لينتفع العباد بها في الركوب والحمل للأمتعة والتجارة. وهذا من رحمته بعباده فإنه لم يزل بهم رحيما رؤوفا يؤتيهم من كل ما تعلقت به إرادتهم ومنافعهم.

Tafsir al-Muyassar

Committee of Saudi ScholarsArabic

ربكم -أيها الناس- هو الذي يُسَيِّر لكم السفن في البحر؛ لتطلبوا رزق الله في أسفاركم وتجاراتكم. إن الله سبحانه كان رحيمًا بعباده.

Salafi Approved
Hafiz Ibn KathirArabic

ويخبر تعالى عن لطفه بخلقه في تسخيره لعباده الفلك في البحر وتسهيله لمصالح عباده لابتغائهم من فضله في التجارة من إقليم إلى إقليم ولهذا قال "إنه كان بكم رحيما" أي إنما فعل هذا بكم من فضله عليكم ورحمته بكم.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Ismail ibn KathirEnglish

Ships are a Sign of the Mercy of Allah Allah tells us of His kindness towards His servants by subjugating for them ships on the sea. He makes it easy for them to use ships to serve their interests, seeking His bounty through trade between one region and another. He says: إِنَّهُ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيمًا (Truly, He is ever Most Merciful towards you.) meaning, He does this for you out of His grace and mercy towards you.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Salafi Approved
Hafiz Ibn KathirUrdu

آسانیاں ہی آسانیاں اللہ تعالیٰ اپنا احسان بناتا ہے کہ اس نے اپنے بندوں کی آسانی اور سہولت کے لئے اور ان کی تجارت و سفر کے لئے دریاؤں میں کشتیاں چلا دی ہیں، اس کے فضل و کرم لطف و رحم کا ایک نشان یہ بھی ہے کہ تم دور دراز ملکوں میں جا آسکتے ہو اور خاص فضل یعنی اپنی روزیاں حاصل کرسکتے ہو۔
