یاد خدا هنگام رویارویی با گناه؛ روشنگر جان انسان

ابوبصیرء یکی از اصحاب امام صادق(ع) می‌گوید: از امام صادق(ع) دربارة این آیه سوّال کردم؛ حضرت فرمود: «اشاره به بنده‌ای است که تصمیم به گناهی می‌گیرد؛ ولی به یاد خدا می‌افتد و از آن گناه دست می‌کشد.» جملةٌ «فاذا هم مبصرون» (به هنگام یاد خدا, چشمشان بینا می‌شود و حق را می‌بینند)» اشاره به این حقیقت است که وسوسه‌های شیطانی بر دیدة باطنی انسان پرده می‌افکند؛ چنان که دیگر راه را از چاه و دوست را از دشمن و نیک را از بد نمی‌شناسد؛ ولی یاد خدا به انسان بینایی و روشنایی می‌بخشد و قدرت شناخت واقعیت‌ها را به او می‌دهد؛ شناختی که نتیجه‌اش نجات از چنگال وسوسه‌های شیطان است.
