Tafsir

(قال رجلان من الذين يخافون ) أي : يخافون الله تعالى ، قرأ سعيد بن جبير " يخافون " بضم الياء ، وقال : الرجلان كانا من الجبارين فأسلما واتبعا موسى ، ( أنعم الله عليهما ) بالتوفيق والعصمة قالا ( ادخلوا عليهم الباب ) يعني : قرية الجبارين ، ( فإذا دخلتموه فإنكم غالبون ) لأن الله تعالى منجز وعده ، وإنا رأيناهم وأجسامهم عظيمة وقلوبهم ضعيفة ، فلا تخشوهم ، ( وعلى الله فتوكلوا إن كنتم مؤمنين ) فأراد بنو إسرائيل أن يرجموهما بالحجارة وعصوهما .

Two men from the companions of Moses who feared Allah and were afraid of His punishment, whom Allah had blessed by enabling them to obey Him, urged their people to fulfil the instruction of Moses and said, ‘Enter the gate of the city against the tyrants. Once you go through the gate you will – by Allah’s permission – defeat them, as Allah’s custom is to give victory after the means of having faith and making preparation are adopted. Place your reliance and trust in Allah alone, if you truly have faith. Faith in Allah requires you to rely on Him’.
