قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: وَهُوَ يُدْرِكُ الأَبْصَارَ
٧٧٤٢ - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ الأَوْدِيُّ فِيمَا كَتَبَ إِلَيَّ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُفَضَّلٍ ثنا أَسْبَاطٌ عَنِ السُّدِّيِّ: قَوْلَهُ: لَا تُدْرِكُهُ الأَبْصَارُ، وَهُوَ يُدْرِكُ الأَبْصَارَ، يَقُولُ: لَا يَرَاهُ شَيْءٌ، وَهُوَ يَرَى الْخَلائِقَ.
قَوْلُهُ: وَهُوَ اللَّطِيفُ
٧٧٤٣ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ثنا مُقَاتِلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ثنا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الرَّازِيِّ عَنِ الرَّبِيعِ ابن أَنَسٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ فِي قَوْلِهِ: لَطِيفٌ خَبِيرٌ قال: لَطِيفٌ لاسْتِخْرَاجِهَا.
قَوْلُهُ: الْخَبِيرُ
٧٧٤٤ - وَبِهِ عن أبي العالية:

٧٧٤٥ - أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَزِيدَ الْقَرَاطِيسِيُّ فِيمَا كَتَبَ إِلَيَّ ثنا أَصْبَغُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ قَالَ:
سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ يَقُولُ فِي قَوْلِهِ: قَدْ جَاءَكُمْ بَصَائِرُ من ربكم قَالَ: الْبَصَائِرُ الْهُدَى، بَصَائِرُ مَا فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ لِدِينِهِمْ، وَلَيْسَتْ بِبَصَائِرِ الرُّؤُوسِ، وَقَرَأَ: فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَعْمَى الأَبْصَارُ وَلَكِنْ تَعْمَى الْقُلُوبُ الَّتِي فِي الصُّدُورِ «١» ، وَقَالَ: إِنَّمَا الدِّينُ بَصَرُهُ وَسَمْعُهُ فِي هَذَا الْقَلْبِ.
