Tafsīr

قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

چرا ابراهیم از حضور میهمانان اظهار ترس کرد؟

این سخن ابراهیم(ع) پس از آن بود که میهمانان او (فرشتگان) نشستند و ابراهیم برای آنان گوساله‌ای بریان حاضر کرد؛ ولی آنها از خوردن آن خودداری کردند (أیةُ ۷۰ سورة هود نیز به این موضوع اشاره دارد). بعد از این برخورد عجیب ابراهیم احساس ترس کرد و به آنها فرمود که از ایشان بیمناک است. برخی از مفسران بر آن‌اند که این ترس بدین خاطر بود که در آن زمان و زمان‌های بعد و حتی در عصر ما در بین بعضی از اقوام معمول است که هر گاه کسی نان و نمک کسی را بخورد.ه به او گزندی نخواهد رساند و خود را مدیون او می‌داند و به همین دلیلء دست نبردن به سوی غذاء دلیل بر قصد سوء و کینه و عداوت است.
