النعمة: الحالة الحسنة، وبناء النعمة بناء الحالة التي يكون عليها الإنسان كالجلسة والركبة، والنعمة: التنعم، وبناؤها بناء المرة من الفعل كالضربة والشتمة، والنعمة للجنس تقال للقليل والكثير. قال تعالى: وإن تعدوا نعمة الله لا تحصوها

المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

قوله تعالى: ﴿نعم﴾ [الأعراف: 44] نعم: حرف جواب وتصديق، ويكون جوابا للنفي والإثبات؛ يقال: ما قام زيد، فيقال: نعم، أي ما قام. وقام زيد، فيقال: نعم، أي قام بخلاف بلى فإنها لا يجاب بها إلا للنفي كما تقدم. ويجوز كسر العين، وهي لغة قرأ بها الكسائي ويجوز إبدال عينها حاء.
