یکی از معانی وحی

یکی از معانی وحی در قرآن» الهام است و در این آیه نیز وحی به همین معنا آمده است. در آّیات دیگری نیز کلمةٌ وحی به این معنا به‌کار رفته است؛ مانند آَیدٌ ۷ سورةٌ قصص که می‌فرماید: «و به مادر موسی وحی کردیم که به او شیر بده.»؟ یا اَیةٌ ۶۸ سورةٌ نحل که می‌فرماید: «و پروردگار تو نیز به زنبور وحی کرد.» در روایتی نقل شده که شخصی از امام باقر(ع) در بارةٌ این آیه سوال کرد که معنای «و هنگامی که به حواریون وحی کردم» چیست» حضرت فرمود: «به آنها الهام شد.»
