الكتب: ضم أديم إلى أديم بالخياطة، يقال: كتبت السقاء، وكتبت البغلة: جمعت بين شفريها بحلقة، وفي التعارف ضم الحروف بعضها إلى بعض بالخط، وقد يقال ذلك للمضموم بعضها إلى بعض باللفظ، فالأصل في الكتابة: النظم بالخط لكن يستعار كل واحد للآخر، ولهذا سمي كلام الله- وإن لم يكتب- كتابا كقوله: الم ذلك الكتاب
قوله تعالى: ﴿ألم ذلك الكتاب﴾ [البقرة: 1 - 2] الكتاب -في الأصل- مصدر كتب أي جمع. قال تعالى: ﴿كتاب الله عليكم﴾ [النساء: 24] أي: كتب ذلك عليكم كتابا كقوله: ﴿صنع الله﴾ [النمل: 88] ثم يطلق على المكتوب كقولهم: خلق الله، وضرب الأمير، وأنشد: [من الطويل]
