قوله: الْكِتَابَ

٥٤ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الصَّبَّاحِ، ثنا أَسْبَاطُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ الْهُذَلِيِّ- يَعْنِي أَبَا بَكْرٍ- عَنِ الْحَسَنِ فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ: الْكِتَابُ قَالَ: الْقُرْآنُ. قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ:

وَرُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ.

قَوْلُهُ: لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ

٥٥ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، ثنا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ الْحَكَمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، ثنا حُرَيْزُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرحمن ابْنَ أَبِي عَوْفٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ الْفَزَارِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ:

الرَّيْبُ- يَعْنِي الشَّكَّ- مِنَ الْكُفْرِ. قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ: وَلا أَعْلَمُ فِي هَذَا الْحَرْفِ اخْتِلافًا بَيْنَ الْمُفَسِّرِينَ مِنْهُمُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ، وَأَبُو مَالِكٍ، وَنَافِعٌ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عُمَرَ، وَعَطَاءُ بْنُ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ، وَأَبُو الْعَالِيَةِ، وَالرَّبِيعُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، وَقَتَادَةُ، وَمُقَاتِلُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ، وَالسُّدِّيُّ، وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أبي خالد.

[قوله: هدى]

اختلف في تفسيره على أوجه:

[الوجه الأول]

فمنهم من قال: هدى مِنَ الضَّلَالَةِ.

٥٦ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَبِي الرَّبِيعِ، أنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنِي الثَّوْرِيُّ، عَنْ بَيَانٍ.

٥٧ - وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، ثنا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ وَعِيسَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالا: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ بَيَانٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ فِي قَوْلِهِ: هُدًى قال: من الضلالة.

[الوجه الثاني]

وَمَنْ فَسَّرَهُ عَلَى نُورٍ:

٥٨ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُرْعَةَ، ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ حَمَّادِ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ الْقَنَّادُ، ثنا أَسْبَاطُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، عَنِ السُّدِّيِّ: وَأَمَّا هدى للمتقين نور للمتقين.

[الوجه الثالث]

وَمَنْ فَسَّرَهُ عَلَى تِبْيَانٍ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ:

٥٩ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُرْعَةَ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ، ثنا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عن عَطَاءُ ابْنُ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ: هُدًى لِلْمُتَّقِينَ تبيان للمتقين.
