الصَّالِحِينَ {إِذْ تَدْخُلُونَ الْبُيُوتَ، {تَحِيَّةً مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ} أَيْ: قَدْ شَرَعَهَا لَكُمْ، وَجَعَلَهَا تَحِيَّتَكُمْ، مُبَارَكَةً} لِاشْتِمَالِهَا عَلَى السَّلَامَةِ مِنَ النَّقْصِ وَحُصُولِ الرَّحْمَةِ وَالْبَرَكَةِ وَالنَّمَاءِ وَالزِّيَادَةِ، {طَيِّبَةً} لِأَنَّهَا مِنَ الْكَلِمِ الطَّيِّبِ الْمَحْبُوبِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي فِيهِ طِيبَةُ نَفْسٍ لِلْمُحَيَّا وَمَحَبَّةٌ وَجَلْبُ مَوَدَّةٍ.

(from previous page) ⟵ Then he praised this greeting, saying: "A blessed, good greeting from Allah," meaning: your greeting by saying: "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings," or "Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah," "when you enter houses, 'a greeting from Allah,'" meaning: He has prescribed it for you and made it your greeting, "blessed" because it includes safety from deficiency and the attainment of mercy, blessing, growth, and increase, "good" because it is among the good words beloved by Allah, which brings peace of mind to the greeter, love, and attracts affection.

لَمَّا بَيَّنَ لَنَا هَذِهِ الْأَحْكَامَ الْجَلِيلَةَ قَالَ: {كَذَلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ الْآيَاتِ} الدَّالَّاتِ عَلَى أَحْكَامِهِ الشَّرْعِيَّةِ، وَحِكَمِهَا، {لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ} عَنْهُ فَتَفْهَمُونَهَا، وَتَعْقِلُونَهَا بِقُلُوبِكُمْ، وَلِتَكُونُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعُقُولِ وَالْأَلْبَابِ الرَّزِينَةِ فَإِنَّ مَعْرِفَةَ أَحْكَامِهِ الشَّرْعِيَّةِ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا، يَزِيدُ فِي الْعَقْلِ، وَيَنْمُو بِهِ اللُّبُّ لِكَوْنِ مَعَانِيهَا أَجَلَّ الْمَعَانِي وَآدَابَهَا أَجَلَّ الْآدَابِ، وَلِأَنَّ الْجَزَاءَ مِنْ جِنْسِ الْعَمَلِ، فَكَمَا اسْتَعْمَلَ عَقْلَهُ لِلْعَقْلِ عَنْ رَبِّهِ، وَلِلتَّفَكُّرِ فِي آيَاتِهِ الَّتِي دَعَاهُ إِلَيْهَا، زَادَهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ.

When He explained these magnificent rulings to us, He said: {Thus does Allah make clear to you the verses} that point to His legal rulings and their wisdom, {so that you may reason} from Him, so you understand them and grasp them with your hearts, and so that you may be among the people of intellect and sound minds. For knowing His legal rulings in their proper manner increases the intellect and the mind grows thereby, because their meanings are the most magnificent of meanings and their etiquette is the most magnificent of etiquette. Since the reward is of the same nature as the deed, just as he used his intellect to reason from his Lord and to reflect upon His verses to which He invited him, He increased him in that.

وَفِي هَذِهِ الْآيَاتِ دَلِيلٌ عَلَى قَاعِدَةٍ عَامَّةٍ كُلِّيَّةٍ وَهِيَ: أَنَّ الْعُرْفَ وَالْعَادَةَ مُخَصِّصٌ لِلْأَلْفَاظِ، كَتَخْصِيصِ اللَّفْظِ لِلَّفْظِ فَإِنَّ الْأَصْلَ، أَنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ مَمْنُوعٌ مِنْ تَنَاوُلِ طَعَامِ غَيْرِهِ، مَعَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَبَاحَ الْأَكْلَ مِنْ بُيُوتِ هَؤُلَاءِ، لِلْعُرْفِ وَالْعَادَةِ، فَكُلُّ مَسْأَلَةٍ تَتَوَقَّفُ عَلَى الْإِذْنِ مِنْ مَالِكِ الشَّيْءِ، إِذَا عُلِمَ إِذْنُهُ بِالْقَوْلِ أَوِ الْعُرْفِ، جَازَ الْإِقْدَامُ عَلَيْهِ.

In these verses is evidence for a general, universal rule: that custom and habit specify words, just as the specification of a word by a word. The principle is that a person is forbidden from consuming the food of another, yet Allah permitted eating from the houses of these people due to custom and habit. Thus, for every matter that depends on permission from the owner of the thing, if his permission is known by speech or custom, it is permissible to proceed.
