ترجمة معاني آية: (69) سورة: هود
وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَتۡ رُسُلُنَآ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ بِٱلۡبُشۡرَىٰ قَالُواْ سَلَٰمٗاۖ قَالَ سَلَٰمٞۖ فَمَا لَبِثَ أَن جَآءَ بِعِجۡلٍ حَنِيذٖ
(69) [2577]Verily, Our messengers came to Ibrāhīm with the glad tiding[2578]. They said: “Peace![2579]” and he said: “Peace!” Little did he linger to bring a roasted calf.
[2577] The ‘messengers’ spoken of in this passage and the next are angels sent by God for the punishment of Lot’s people; such is their coming upon the wrongful. This is by way of answering the Makkan Deniers’ request for the coming of an angel with the Messenger (ﷺ) (cf. Ibn ʿĀshūr). Angels descending to Earth have only one job: to deliver what is ‘true’; “either a Message to a human Messenger or a Punishment from God upon those who Deny it” (Mujāhid, quoted in al-Ṭabarī). “They ˹brashly˺ say: “O you to whom the Reminder is revealed! You must be insane! *Why do you not bring us the angels, if what you say is true?” *We do not send down the angels, save in Truth ˹Punishment˺, and were We to do so, they would be granted no respite!” (15: 6-8).
[2578] The good news that he was about to have children of his own (cf. al-Ṭabarī, al-Saʿdī, al-Shinqīṭī, Aḍwā’ al-Bayān). However, al-Shinqīṭī, based on Ayas 51: 32-33 and 29: 3, also points out the possibility of this piece of good news being the imminent destruction of the people of Lot, whose sin was of a most singular, earth-shattering nature (for more on them see 7: 80-84), especially as their Messenger Lot (عليه السلام) was Abraham’s own nephew who did not live too far from him at that given time (cf. Ibn Kathīr, Ibn ʿĀshūr). This fact may shed new light on our reading of the passage at hand.
[2579] This greeting is a becoming prelude to good news (cf. Ibn ʿĀshūr); put nicely and simply as a nominal sentence which, in Arabic, is more affirmative than the verbal sentence (cf. Ibn ʿAṭiyyah, Abū Ḥayyān) which would also allay fears immediately. People in those times had no cover of protection besides themselves and so they placed great importance on the show of others’ goodwill, especially strangers; a peace greeting put so bore special significance.
