تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

يقول الله تعالى بعد ذكر المشركين المستكبرين عن مجالسة الضعفاء والمساكين من المسلمين ، وافتخروا عليهم بأموالهم وأحسابهم ، فضرب لهم مثلا برجلين ، جعل الله ( لأحدهما جنتين ) أي : بستانين من أعناب ، محفوفتين بالنخل المحدقة في جنباتهما ، وفي خلالهما الزروع ، وكل من الأشجار والزروع مثمر مقبل في غاية الجود
