•ثلاثة أرباع الحزب

42:52

۞ وَمَا كَانَ لِبَشَرٍ أَن يُكَلِّمَهُ ٱللَّهُ إِلَّا وَحْيًا أَوْ مِن وَرَآئِ حِجَابٍ أَوْ يُرْسِلَ رَسُولًا فَيُوحِىَ بِإِذْنِهِۦ مَا يَشَآءُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِىٌّ حَكِيمٌ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

And it is not for a man that Allah should speak to him except by revelation or from behind a veil or by sending a messenger to reveal by His command what He pleases. Surely, He is High, Wise.

English - Five Volume Translation

And it is not for a man that Allah should speak to him except by direct revelation or from behind a veil or by sending a messenger to reveal by His command what He pleases. Surely, He is High, Wise.[3637]

Important Words:

وحیاً (revelation) is infinitive noun from وحی (waha). They say وحی او أوحی الی فلان i.e. He pointed to him; sent to him a messenger; he talked to him secretly, intending to keep the talk secret from others. أوحی العمل means, he did the thing quickly (Aqrab). See also 5:112.

Commentary:

The verse makes mention of the three ways in which God speaks to His servants and reveals His will to them: (a) He speaks direct to a person without the aid of an intermediary. (b) He makes him see a vision which may or may not be interpretable, or sometimes makes him hear words in a state of wakefulness, when he is not seeing the person speaking to him. This is the significance of the words, "from behind the veil." (c) God sends down a messenger—an angel who delivers the Divine Message to him. See also 99:6.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور کسی انسان کے لئے ممکن نہیں کہ اللہ اس سے کلام کرے مگر وحی کے ذریعہ یا پردے کے پیچھے سے یا کوئی پیغام رساں بھیجے جو اُس کے اِذن سے جو وہ چاہے وحی کرے ۔ یقیناً وہ بہت بلند شان (اور) حکمت والا ہے۔

French

Et il n’est pas possible pour un homme qu’Allāh lui parle sauf à travers la révélation, ou de derrière un voile, ou en envoyant un messager pour qu’il révèle par Son commandement ce qu’Il veut. Assurément, Il est Très-Haut et Sage.

German

Keinem Menschen steht es zu, dass Allah zu ihm sprechen sollte, außer durch Offenbarung oder hinter einem Schleier oder indem Er einen Boten* schickt, zu offenbaren auf Sein Geheiß, was Ihm gefällt; Er ist erhaben, allweise.

Chinese

任何人都不具有安拉与其说话的身份, 除非经由启示, 或从幕后, 或藉派遣使者以他的命令[1215]启示他所意欲的。他确是崇高的, 明哲的。

这节经文提到安拉对其仆人讲话并向他们显现自己的三种方式: (1) 他向他们直言而不假借中介; (2) 他使他们见到一个不一定能解释的精神景象, 或使他们有时在觉醒状态中听到说话而见不到跟他们说话人。这就是 “从幕后” 一语的意义: (3) 安拉降下一位使者--------传达神圣的启示的天使。

Italian

E non è dato ad essere umano che Allah gli parli, se non per rivelazione diretta, oppure da dietro a un velo, oppure inviando un messaggero a rivelare, dietro Suo comando, quello che Lui vuole. Per certo, Egli è Eccelso, Sapiente.

Spanish

Y no es propio para el hombre que Al-lah le hable salvo por revelación o tras un velo, o enviándole un mensajero para que le revele con Su mandamiento lo que desee. En verdad, Él es Altísimo, Sabio.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور کسی آدمی کی یہ حیثیت نہیں کہ اللہ اس سے وحی[1] کے سوا یا پردے کے پیچھے بولنے کے سوا کسی اور صورت سے کلام کرے یا (اس کی طرف فرشتوں میں سے) رسول (بناکر) بھیجے جو اس کے حکم سے جو کچھ وہ کہے بات پہنچا دیں۔ وہ بڑی شان والا (اور) حکمتوں کا واقف ہے۔

وحی کے اصل معنے ایسے اشارہ کے ہوتے ہیں جو جلدی سے کیا جائے اور دوسروں کو اس کا علم نہ ہو سکے۔ خداتعالیٰ کے کلام کو اس لئے وحی کہتے ہیں کہ اس کا نزول جلدی جلدی ہوتا ہے اور ملہم کے علاوہ اور کسی کو علم نہیں ہوتا‘ سوائے اس کے کہ اللہ تعالیٰ کسی اور کو بھی خود اس میں شامل کرے۔

اس آیت میں اللہ تعالیٰ نے بندہ سے کلام کرنے کے تین طریق بیان فرمائے ہیں (۱) پہلا طریق یہ ہے کہ اللہ تعالیٰ کا کلام بندہ پر بغیر کسی واسطہ کے نازل ہو۔ (۲)دوسرا طریق وحی کایہ ہے کہ خداتعالیٰ کی طرف سے الفاظ نازل نہ ہوں بلکہ مضمون کو تعبیر طلب امثال میں یا بے تعبیر طلب نظارہ میں دکھایا جائے اسی کو اس آ

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

کسی بشر کا یہ مقام نہیں ہے کہ اللہ اُس سے روبرو بات کرے اُس کی بات یا تو وحی (اشارے) کے طور پر ہوتی ہے، یا پردے کے پیچھے سے، یا پھر وہ کوئی پیغام بر (فرشتہ) بھیجتا ہے اور وہ اُس کے حکم سے جو کچھ وہ چاہتا ہے، وحی کرتا ہے، وہ برتر اور حکیم ہے

English - Sahih

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اور کسی انسان کا حق نہیں کہ اس سے الله کلام کر لے مگر بذریعہ وحی یا پردے کے پیچھے سے یا کوئی فرشتہ بھیج دے کہ وہ اس کے حکم سے القا کر لے جو چاہے بے شک وہ بڑاعالیشان حکمت والا ہے
