Commentary on Tafsir al-Jalalayn: ((And for whoever is patient)) and does not seek revenge ((and forgives)) overlooks ((that is)) patience and overlooking ((for those who are determined in matters))

The Shaykh :"

And for whoever is patient

ولمن صبر

and does not seek revenge

and forgives

وغفر

overlooks " meaning from the wrongdoer "

that is

إن ذلك

patience and overlooking

of the matters [requiring] determination.

لمن عزم الأمور

[Ash-Shuraa 42:43]

meaning their determinations, i.e., what is required by the Shari'ah ", "for whoever is patient": this lam is the lam of inception and conveys emphasis, and "man" is a conditional noun that requires a verb, the verb of the condition is "is patient," and the answer to the condition is: , pay attention to this grammar regarding the conditional nature: the verb of the condition is "is patient" and what is conjoined to it, the answer to the condition is: , and here there is a point of difficulty, which is that if the answer to the condition is a nominal sentence, it must be joined with the particle "fa" (then), like the verse before it: and here the "fa" was omitted. The difficulty here is how the "fa" was omitted in the answer to the condition when it is a nominal sentence? The answer is: that the "fa" may be omitted even if the sentence, i.e., the sentence of the answer to the condition, is nominal, and they cited in support of this the saying of the poet:
" Whoever does good deeds, Allah will appreciate them "
"Whoever does good deeds" is a conditional clause, the verb of the condition is "does," the answer to the condition is "Allah will appreciate them," and there is no "fa" in it. So they said: it is permissible sometimes to omit the "fa," and they cited the verse as evidence, and they cited the verse of poetry as evidence.
Some of them said in the grammar of the verse: the omission of the "fa" indicates that "man" is not a conditional noun but rather a relative pronoun, and accordingly the meaning would be: "And he who is patient and forgives, indeed that is among the determined matters." The truth is that both the first and second grammatical analyses are permissible, but making "man" a conditional noun, like the verse before it, is more appropriate in terms of the coherence of the context with itself. And the difficulty regarding the omission of the "fa" in the answer, and the answer to that is that it may be omitted sometimes.
His saying, Exalted is He: meaning patience against the oppression of the oppressor towards him. And if you wish, say: it is general, encompassing everyone who is patient against harm from illness or travel or the like. But the generality may prevent asserting this, due to His saying: for the apparent meaning of this context is that the intended meaning is patience from holding the oppressor accountable, meaning concealing what happened to him of oppression, meaning their determinations, i.e., it is evidence that the man is among those of determination because he bore it and concealed it; he bore it so he was patient, and he pardoned so he forgave, then he said: ...
