المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

قوله تعالى: ﴿إنكم كنتم تأتوننا عن اليمين﴾ [الصافات: 28] أي عن القوة والقهر، أي غلبتمونا وقهرتمونا حتى أطعناكم، وركبوا معاصيهم على قادتهم. قال ابن عرفة: أي تمنعوننا من طاعة الله، أي تأتوتنا من قبل الحق فتلبسوه علينا. والعرب تنسب الفعل المحمود إلى اليمين والمذموم إلى الشمال. قال الشماخ: [من الوافر]
