تفسير الآيتين 14 و15 :ـ أي: ولو جاءتهم كل آية عظيمة لم يؤمنوا وكابروا { ولو فتحنا عليهم بابا من السماء } فصاروا يعرجون فيه، ويشاهدونه عيانا بأنفسهم لقالوا من ظلمهم وعنادهم منكرين لهذه الآية: { إنما سكرت أبصارنا } أي: أصابها سكر وغشاوة حتى رأينا ما لم نر، { بل نحن قوم مسحورون } أي: ليس هذا بحقيقة، بل هذا سحر، وقوم وصلت بهم الحال إلى هذا الإنكار، فإنهم لا مطمع فيهم ولا رجاء

ولو فتحنا على كفار "مكة" بابًا من السماء فاستمروا صاعدين فيه حتى يشاهدوا ما في السماء من عجائب ملكوت الله، لما صدَّقوا، ولقالوا: سُحِرَتْ أبصارنا، حتى رأينا ما لم نرَ، وما نحن إلا مسحورون في عقولنا من محمد.

يخبر تعالى عن قوة كفرهم وعنادهم ومكابرتهم للحق أنه لو فتح لهم بابا من السماء فجعلوا يصعدون فيه لما صدقوا بذلك.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Ismail ibn KathirEnglish

The Stubborn Disbelievers will never believe, no matter what Signs and Wonders They see Allah explains the extent of their disbelief and stubborn resistance to the truth by stating that even if a door to heaven were to be opened for them, and they were to be taken up through it, they would still not believe. Rather, they would say: إِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتْ أَبْصَـرُنَا (Our eyes have been (as if) dazzled.) Mujahid, Ibn Kathir and Ad-Dahhak said, "this means our vision has been blocked." Qatadah narrated that Ibn `Abbas said, "this means our eyesight has been taken away." Al-`Awfi reported that Ibn `Abbas said, "this means we were confused and put under a spell." سُكِّرَتْ أَبْصَـرُنَا (Our eyes have been (as if) dazzled.) Ibn Zayd said: "The one who is dazzled lit. intoxicated is the one who cannot reason."

Hafiz Ibn KathirUrdu

ان کی سرکشی، ضد، ہٹ، خود بینی اور باطل پرستی کی تو یہ کیفیت ہے کہ بالفرض اگر ان کے لئے آسمان کا دروازہ کھول دیا جائے اور انہیں وہاں چڑھا دیا جائے تو بھی یہ حق کو حق کہہ کر نہ دیں گے بلکہ اس وقت بھی ہانک لگائیں گے کہ ہماری نظر بندی کردی گئی ہے، آنکھیں بہکا دی گئی ہیں، جادو کردیا گیا ہے، نگاہ چھین لی گئی ہے، دھوکہ ہو رہا ہے، بیوقوف بنایا جا رہا ہے۔
