Ibrahim • EN-TAFSIR-IBN-ABBAS
﴿ أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ ضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلًۭا كَلِمَةًۭ طَيِّبَةًۭ كَشَجَرَةٍۢ طَيِّبَةٍ أَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌۭ وَفَرْعُهَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ ﴾
“ART THOU NOT aware how God sets forth the parable of a good word? [It is] like a good tree, firmly rooted, [reaching out] with its branches towards the sky,”
(Seest thou you not) have you not been informed, O Muhammad, (how Allah coineth a similitude: A goodly saying) He says: how Allah has exposited the description of a goodly saying which is " there is no god save Allah " , (as a goodly tree) which is the believer, (its root set firm) He says: the heart of the sincere believer is firm by means of " there is no god save Allah " , (its branches reaching into heaven) He says: due to it the works of a sincere believer are accepted,
