Tafsīr

قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

اسحاق؛ پسر دانای ابراهیم

بدون شک منظور از «غلام علیم»» حضرت اسحاق(ع) است؛ زیرا هنگامی که فرشتگان این بشارت را به ابراهیم دادنده همسر او - ساره - که عقیم بود و در آن زمان یائسه هم شده بود نیز حاضر بود و این بشارت به او نیز داده شد. این را نیز می‌دانیم که ساره مادر اسحاق است و ابراهیم پیشتر از هاجر (کنیزی که به همسری انتخاب کرده بود) صاحب پسری به نام اسماعیل شده بود. این نکته سزاوار توجه است که شاید ذکر صفت «علیم» برای اسحاق» برای نشان دادن دانایی او و داشتن علمی فراتر از علوم معمولی باشد؛ یعنی او دانای به تعلیم الهی و به وحی آسمانی است؛ چنان که در أَیةْ ۱۱۲ سورةٌ صافات که شبیه به همین آیه است» می‌خوانیم: «و مااو [-ابراهیم] را به اسحاق -پیامبری از شایستگان -بشارت دادیم». این یه به ارتباط حضرت اسحاق با جهان غیب اشاره دارد.
