Al-Jinn
سورة الجنHii ni matini ya Kiarabu ya Tafsiri ya Jalalayn ya Jalaluddin al-Mahalli na Jalaluddin as-Suyuti kama ilivyo katika mkusanyiko wa OpenITI, kutoka nakala ya altafsir.com iliyochukuliwa na mradi wa COBHUNI wa Chuo Kikuu cha Hamburg: ufafanuzi wa aya tu, bila utangulizi, bila kutaja toleo na bila kurasa zilizohesabiwa. Hakuna aliyeilinganisha na kitabu kilichochapishwa wala hati-mkono, na hakuna mwanazuoni aliyeihakiki. Kila kifungu kipo kando ya aya inazozifafanua, ambazo ni matini ya Qur’ani ya Tanzil, inavyoonekana huko. Chini ya kila kifungu kuna tafsiri yake ya Kiingereza na Feras Hamza, kama ilivyo katika nakala ya Quranic Universal Library ya Tarteel; nakala hiyo nayo haijalinganishwa na kitabu kilichochapishwa na yeyote.

قُلْ أُوحِىَ إِلَىَّ أَنَّهُ ٱسْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِّنَ ٱلْجِنِّ فَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا سَمِعْنَا قُرْءَانًا عَجَبًا 1
{ قل } يا محمد للناس { أوحى إلى } أي أخبرت بالوحي من الله تعالى { أنه } الضمير للشأن { استمع } لقراءتي { نفر من الجن } جن نصيبين وذلك في صلاة الصبح ببطن نخل، موضع بين مكة والطائف، وهم الذين ذكروا في قوله تعالى:
وإذ صرفنآ إليك نفرا من الجن
[29:46] الآية { فقالوا } لقومهم لما رجعوا إليهم { إنا سمعنا قرءانا عجبا } يتعجب منه في فصاحته وغزارة معانيه وغير ذلك.
Say, O Muhammad (s), to people: ‘It has been revealed to me, that is to say, I have been informed by way of revelation from God, exalted be He, that (annahu: the [suffixed] pronoun is that of the matter) a company of the jinn, the jinn of Nasībīn. This was at the time of the morning prayer at Batn Nakhla, a location between Mecca and Tā’if — these [jinn] being those mentioned in God’s saying, And when We sent a company of jinn your way…’ [Q. 46:29] — listened, to my recitation, then said, to their people upon returning to them: “We have indeed heard a marvellous Qur’ān, whose clarity, the richness of its meanings and other aspects one marvels at,
يَهْدِىٓ إِلَى ٱلرُّشْدِ فَـَٔامَنَّا بِهِۦ ۖ وَلَن نُّشْرِكَ بِرَبِّنَآ أَحَدًا 2
{ يهدى إلى الرشد } الإيمان والصواب { فئامنا به ولن نشرك } بعد اليوم { بربنآ أحدا }.
which guides to rectitude, to faith and propriety. Therefore we believe in it and we will never, after this day, associate anyone with our Lord.
وَأَنَّهُۥ تَعَـٰلَىٰ جَدُّ رَبِّنَا مَا ٱتَّخَذَ صَـٰحِبَةً وَلَا وَلَدًا 3
{ وأنه } الضمير للشأن فيه وفي الموضعين بعده { تعلى جد ربنا } تنزه جلاله وعظمته عما نسب إليه { ما اتخذ صحبة } زوجة { ولا ولدا }.
And [we believe] that (annahu: the pronoun in this and in the next two instances is that of the matter) — exalted be the majesty of our Lord, transcendent is His majesty and magnificence above what is ascribed to Him — He has taken neither spouse nor son.
وَأَنَّهُۥ كَانَ يَقُولُ سَفِيهُنَا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ شَطَطًا 4
{ وأنه كان يقول سفيهنا } جاهلنا { على الله شططا } غلوا في الكذب بوصفه بالصاحبة والولد.
And that the fool among us, the ignorant one among us, used to utter atrocious lies against God, extreme calumny by attributing to Him a spouse and a son.
وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّآ أَن لَّن تَقُولَ ٱلْإِنسُ وَٱلْجِنُّ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا 5
{ وأنا ظننآ أن } مخففة، أي إنه { لن تقول الإنس والجن على الله كذبا } بوصفه بذلك حتى تبين كذبهم بذلك.
And we thought that (an: softened, that is to say, annahu) humans and jinn would never utter a lie against God, by attributing such things to Him, until we discovered their mendacity thereby. God, exalted be He, says:
وَأَنَّهُۥ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِّنَ ٱلْإِنسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٍ مِّنَ ٱلْجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمْ رَهَقًا 6
قال تعالى: { وأنه كان رجال من الإنس يعوذون } يستعيذون { برجال من الجن } حين ينزلون في سفرهم بمخوف فيقول كل رجل أعوذ بسيد هذا المكان من شر سفهائه { فزادوهم } بعوذهم بهم { رهقا } طغيانا فقالوا سدنا الجن والإنس.
And that certain individuals of mankind used to seek the protection of certain individuals of the jinn, when they stopped over in dangerous places during their journeys — whereat every man would say, ‘I seek the protection of the lord of this place against the evil of the insolent ones in it’ — so that they increased them, by their seeking their protection, in oppressiveness, such that they would say, ‘We are now lords of jinn and humans!’.
وَأَنَّهُمْ ظَنُّوا۟ كَمَا ظَنَنتُمْ أَن لَّن يَبْعَثَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدًا 7
{ وأنهم } أي الجن { ظنوا كما ظننتم } يا إنس { أن } مخففة من الثقيلة، أي أنه { لن يبعث الله أحدا } بعد موته.
And they, namely, the jinn, thought just as you, O humans, thought, that (an: softened in place of the hardened form, that is to say, annahu) God would never raise anyone, after his death.
وَأَنَّا لَمَسْنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ فَوَجَدْنَـٰهَا مُلِئَتْ حَرَسًا شَدِيدًا وَشُهُبًا 8
قال الجن { وأنا لمسنا السمآء } رمنا استراق السمع { فوجدنها ملئت حرسا } من الملائكة { شديدا وشهبا } نجوما محرقة وذلك لما بعث النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم.
The jinn say: And we made for the heaven, we desired to listen by stealth, but we found it filled with mighty guards, from among the angels, and meteors, scorching stars: this was at the time of the sending of the Prophet (s).
وَأَنَّا كُنَّا نَقْعُدُ مِنْهَا مَقَـٰعِدَ لِلسَّمْعِ ۖ فَمَن يَسْتَمِعِ ٱلْـَٔانَ يَجِدْ لَهُۥ شِهَابًا رَّصَدًا 9
{ وأنا كنا } أي قبل مبعثه { نقعد منها مقعد للسمع } أي نستمع { فمن يستمع الأن يجد له شهابا رصدا } أي أرصد له ليرمى به.
And we used to, that is to say, before his Mission, sit in [certain] places therein to listen in; but anyone listening now will find a meteor lying in wait for him, aimed at him, ready to strike him.
وَأَنَّا لَا نَدْرِىٓ أَشَرٌّ أُرِيدَ بِمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَمْ أَرَادَ بِهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ رَشَدًا 10
{ وأنا لا ندرى أشر أريد } بعدم استراق السمع { بمن فى الأرض أم أراد بهم ربهم رشدا } خيرا؟.
And we do not know, by not being able to eavesdrop by stealth, whether ill is intended for those who are in the earth, or whether their Lord intends for them good.
وَأَنَّا مِنَّا ٱلصَّـٰلِحُونَ وَمِنَّا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ ۖ كُنَّا طَرَآئِقَ قِدَدًا 11
{ وأنا منا الصلحون } بعد استماع القرآن { ومنا دون ذلك } أي قوم غير صالحين { كنا طرآئق قددا } فرقا مختلفين مسلمين وكافرين.
And that among us some have become righteous, after having listened to the Qur’ān, and some of us are otherwise, that is to say, a folk who are unrighteous; we are [made up of] different sects, opposing groups, [some] submitters to God and [others] disbelievers.
وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّآ أَن لَّن نُّعْجِزَ ٱللَّهَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَن نُّعْجِزَهُۥ هَرَبًا 12
{ وأنا ظننآ أن } مخففة من الثقيلة أي أنه { لن نعجز الله فى الأرض ولن نعجزه هربا } أي لا نفوته كائنين في الأرض أو هاربين منها في السماء.
And we assume that (an: softened in place of the hardened form, that is to say, annahu) we will never be able to elude God in the earth, nor will we be able to elude Him by fleeing — we will not be able to escape Him, whether we are on earth or, fleeing from it, in the heavens.
