قَوْلُهُ تَعالى: ‏‏‏ ‏‏‏‏ ‏‏‏ فِيها خَمْسَةُ أقاوِيلَ: أحَدُها: شُرُوطُ اللَّهِ، وهو قَوْلُ السُّدِّيِّ.

والثّانِي: طاعَةُ اللَّهِ، وهو قَوْلُ ابْنِ عَبّاسٍ.

والثّالِثُ: سُنَّةُ اللَّهِ وأمْرُهُ.

والرّابِعُ: فَرائِضُ اللَّهِ الَّتِي حَدَّها لِعِبادِهِ.

والخامِسُ: تَفْصِيلاتُ اللَّهِ لِفَرائِضِهِ.
