'Will You place therein one who will cause corruption therein,'" since there was in it an indication of what He left unmentioned after His statement: "I am placing in the earth a vicegerent," regarding the information about the corruption of his offspring in the earth, He sufficed with its indication and omitted it, leaving its mention as we mentioned from the saying of the poet. The parallels to that in the Qurʾān, the poetry of the Arabs, and their speech are too numerous to count. So because of what we mentioned of that, we chose what we chose of the view regarding the interpretation of His statement: "They said, 'Will You place therein one who will cause corruption therein and shed blood.'"

The statement regarding the interpretation of His—the Exalted—statement: {while we glorify You with praise and sanctify You}

Abū Jaʿfar said: As for His statement: "while we glorify You with praise," it means: We exalt You with praise to You and gratitude, as He—majestic be His praise—said: {So glorify with praise of your Lord} [Sūrat al-Naṣr: 3], and as He said: {And the angels glorify with praise of their Lord} [Sūrat al-Shūrā: 5], and every remembrance of God among the Arabs is glorification and prayer. A man among them says: I have fulfilled my subḥa (portion) of remembrance and prayer. And it has been said: Glorification is the prayer of the angels.

617- Ibn Ḥumayd narrated to us, he said: Yaʿqūb al-Qummī narrated to us, from Jaʿfar b. Abī al-Mughīra, from Saʿīd b. Jubayr, he said: The Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, was praying, and a man from the Muslims passed by a man from the hypocrites, and said to him: The Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, is praying and you are sitting! So he said to him: Go to your work if you have work. He said: I do not think but that someone will pass by you who will denounce you. Then ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb passed by him and said to him: O so-and-so, the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, is praying and you are sitting! So he said to him the like of it, and he said: This is part of my work. So he sprang upon him and beat him until he was done, then he entered the mosque and prayed

أتجعل فيها من يفسد فيها"، لما كان فيه دلالة على ما ترك ذكره بعد قوله:"إنّي جاعل في الأرض خليفة"، من الخبر عما يكون من إفساد ذريته في الأرض، اكتفى بدلالته وحَذف، فترك ذكره كما ذكرنا من قول الشاعر. ونظائر ذلك في القرآن وأشعار العرب وكلامها أكثر من أن يحصى. فلما ذكرنا من ذلك، اخترنا ما اخترنا من القول في تأويل قوله:"قالوا أتجعل فيها من يفسد فيها ويسفك الدماء".القول في تأويل قوله تعالى: ﴿وَنَحْنُ نُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِكَ وَنُقَدِّسُ لَكَ﴾قال أبو جعفر: أما قوله:"ونحن نسبِّح بحمدك" فإنه يعني: إنا نعظِّمك بالحمد لك والشكر، كما قال جل ثناؤه: (فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ) [سورة النصر: ٣] ، وكما قال: (وَالْمَلائِكَةُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ) [سورة الشورى: ٥] ، وكل ذكر لله عند العرب فتسبيحٌ وصلاة. يقول الرجل منهم: قضيتُ سُبْحَتي من الذكر والصلاة. وقد قيل: إن التسبيحَ صلاةُ الملائكة.٦١٧- حدثنا ابن حميد، قال: حدثنا يعقوب القمي، عن جعفر بن أبي المغيرة، عن سعيد بن جبير، قال: كان النبي ﷺ يُصلي، فمرّ رجل من المسلمين على رجل من المنافقين، فقال له: النبيُّ ﷺ يُصلِّي وأنت جالس! فقال له: امض إلى عملك إن كان لك عمل. فقال: ما أظنّ إلا سيمر عليك من ينكر عليك. فمرّ عليه عمر بن الخطاب فقال له: يا فلان، النبي ﷺ يصَلِّي وأنت جالس! فقال له مثلها، فقال: هذا من عَملي. فوثب عليه فضربَه حتى انتهى، ثم دخل المسجدَ فصلّى
