قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

آنها مست نعمت بودند

این آیه» علت دوزخی شدن اصحاب شمال را مترف بودن آنها بیان می‌کند. کلم مترفین به معنای کسانی است که با نعمت‌های خدا به خوشگذرانی مشغول‌اند و بدین چهت سرکشی می‌کنند. آنها چنان سرگرم لذت بردن از نعمت می‌شوند که فراتر از آن را فراموش می‌کنند. این بدان معنا نیست که مترفین حتماً افراد ثروتمند هستند؛ بلکه ممکن است کسی چیز زیادی از دنیا نداشته باشد؛ اما به آنچه که دارد چنان دلبسته شود که او را به کلی از خدا غافل کند. روشن است که این شخص هم فردی از مترفین است. > **پانوشت صفحه (منابع):** > ۱- نمونه چ۳۲۳ ص ۲۲۰ ۲ المیزان» ج ۰۹ ص۱۳۸ ۳ نمونه, چ ۳۲۳ ص۲۳۵ > ۴ پیشین» ص ۲۱۹ و ۲۲۶ > ۷ اقتباس از المیزان» ج ۰۱۹ ص۱۳۹ > ٢- المیزان، ج ١٩، ص١٢٨ > ۵- مجمع‌البیان» ج ‎٩‏ ص۲۶۶ > ۳ نمونه ج۲۳ ص۲۲۵ > ۶-منشور جاویده چ۹. ص ۴۴۲ > **Cited sources** (grade before any load-bearing use): Tafsīr Nemūneh, al-Mīzān, Majmaʿ al-Bayān.
