Tafseer Ibn Kathir

The Reply of Ibrahim's Father

Allah, the Exalted, informs of the reply of Ibrahim's father to his son, Ibrahim, in reference to what he was calling him to.

قَالَ

He (the father) said;

أَرَاغِبٌ أَنتَ عَنْ الِهَتِي يَا إِبْراهِيمُ لَيِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ لَاَرْجُمَنَّكَ

Do you revile my gods, O Ibrahim! If you stop not (this), I will La'arjumannak.

This means, "If you do not want to worship them (the idols) and you are not pleased with them, then at least stop cursing, abusing, and reviling them. For verily, if you do not cease, I will punish you, curse you and revile you."

This is the meaning of his statement;
لَاأَرْجُمَنَّكَ
(La'arjumannaka).

Ibn Abbas, As-Suddi, Ibn Jurayj, Ad-Dahhak and others said this.

Concerning His statement,

وَاهْجُرْنِي مَلِيًّا



So get away from me Maliyan.

Mujahid, Ikrimah, Sa`id bin Jubayr and Mujahid bin Ishaq all said,

"Maliyan means forever."

Al-Hasan Al-Basri said,

"For a long time."

As-Suddi said,
وَاهْجُرْنِي مَلِيًّا
(So get away from me safely Maliyan),

"This means forever."

Ali bin Abi Talhah and Al-Awfi both reported that Ibn Abbas said,
وَاهْجُرْنِي مَلِيًّا
(So get away from me safely Maliyan),

"This means to go away in peace and safety before you are afflicted with a punishment from me."

Ad-Dahhak, Qatadah, Atiyah Al-Jadali, Malik and others said the same.

This is also the view preferred by Ibn Jarir.
