Tafseer
{ مثل الذين حملوا التوراة } كلفوا العمل بها { ثم لم يحملوها } لم يعملوا بما فيها من نعته صلى الله عليه وسلم فلم يؤمنوا به { كمثل الحمار يحمل أسفارا } أي كتبا في عدم انتفاعه بها { بئس مثل القوم الذين كذبوا بآيات الله } المصدقة للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم والمخصوص بالذم محذوف تقديره هذا المثل {والله لا يهدي القوم الظالمين} الكافرين.
{The example of those who were entrusted with the Torah} who were charged with working by it {and then did not take it up} they did not work with what was in it of his description, may God bless him and grant him peace, so they did not believe in him {is like that of a donkey who carries volumes} that is, books, but he does not benefit from them {How evil is the example of the people who deny the signs of God} that confirm the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and the one specifically blamed is omitted, its meaning being this example {And God does not guide the wrongdoing people} the disbelievers.
