وَتَوَلَّىٰ عَنْهُمْ وَقَالَ يَٰٓأَسَفَىٰ عَلَىٰ يُوسُفَ وَٱبْيَضَّتْ عَيْنَاهُ مِنَ ٱلْحُزْنِ فَهُوَ كَظِيمٌ
قرآن مجید کے لفظ ہیں اِبْیَضَّتْ عَیْنَاہُ مِنَ الْحُزْنِ مترجمین نے اس کا ترجمہ یہ کیا ہے کہ آنکھیں سفید ہو گئیں یعنی پتھرا گئیں۔ مگر لغت میں اس جملہ کے معنے آنسوؤں سے آنکھوں کا بھر جانا بھی لکھے ہیں۔ اور وہی ہم نے کیے ہیں۔ کیونکہ نبی کی شان کے یہی مطابق ہیں۔ وہ خدا سے دعا کرتے ہوئے رو پڑتا ہے جیسا کہ ہمارے آقا آنحضرت صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم بھی روتے تھے۔
یعنی خداتعالیٰ کے سوا بندوں پر ظاہر نہیں کرتا تھا۔
Bayyadas-Siqa means, he filled the skin with water or milk. The expression Ibyaddat ‘Aina-hu is used regarding a person who is stricken with grief and his eyes become filled with tears. The verse thus only signifies that the world became dark for Jacob and his eyes became filled with tears on account of grief (Lane, Razi & Bihar).
Important Words:
ابیضت (became white) is derived from بیض which again is derived from باض. They say باضه i.e. he surpassed him in whiteness. بیض means, he whitened a thing or made it white. بیض السقاء means, he filled the skin with water or milk; or, contrarily, he emptied it. ابیض means, it was or became white. The expression ابیضت عیناه من الحزن is used regarding a person who is stricken with grief and means, the world became dark for him or his eyes became white with grief. (Lane & Bihar).
Commentary:
In view of the meaning of the word ابیضت given under Important Words the verse cannot mean that Jacob became blind on account of excessive weeping. The expression ابیضت عیناه من الحزن only means that his eyes became white because of grief; or (according to one meaning of the word) his eyes became filled with tears on account of grief. The interpretation of these words that Jacob’s eyes became blind is evidently wrong for the following reasons: (1) Arabic idiom does not bear it out, for the becoming white of eyes never means their becoming blind. (2) The Quran represents Jacob as displaying extraordinary patience, hinted at in his words when told that Joseph had been devoured by a wolf and also when Benjamin and Judah failed to return to him (vv. 19 & 84). Now, it is a strange sort of patience if he became blind on account of weeping for his sons. (3) It does not at all become a Prophet of God that he should go on bewailing and weeping for any worldly thing, however great, till he becomes blind. (4) The present verse itself tells us that Jacob was کـظیم i.e. he had succeeded in repressing his grief. This shows that he neither wept excessively nor became blind on account of it. (5) The expression ابیضت عیناه is used in Arabic only to express a person’s great grief and sorrow, and is never used about a person’s becoming blind through weeping and wailing.
