قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

یکی از دلایل نزول تدریجی قرآن

این آیه به یکی از دلایل مهم نزول تدریجی قرآن اشاره دارد؛ این که پیامبر(ص) آن را با درنگ بر مردم بخواند. خاصیت این امر این بود که مردم به آسانی بتوانند در قرآن اندیشه کنند و آن را حفظ کرده» معارف بلند آن را درک کنند و بتوانند به دستورهای عملی آن عمل کنند. اگر قرآن یکباره نازل می‌گردید. طبع مردم آن روز سرزمین حجاز از گرفتن معارف و احکام آن زده می‌شد؛ زیرا یکباره حجم عظیمی از مسائل اعتقادی و دستورهای عملی به آنها تحمیل می‌گردید و انسانی که تا آن زمان هیچ کاری با مبداً و معاد و شریعت نداشتء با کوهی از مسائل اعتقادی و عملی مواجه می‌شد که پذیرش یکبارةٌ آن برایش دشوار بود.
