تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

وقوله : ( وهو الذي جعل لكم النجوم لتهتدوا بها في ظلمات البر والبحر ) قال بعض السلف : من اعتقد في هذه النجوم غير ثلاث فقد أخطأ وكذب على الله : أن الله جعلها زينة للسماء ، ورجوما للشياطين ، ويهتدى بها في ظلمات البر والبحر .

وقوله : ( قد فصلنا الآيات ) أي : قد بيناها ووضحناها ( لقوم يعلمون ) أي : يعقلون ويعرفون الحق ويجتنبون الباطل .
