al-Muyassarتسمية السورة • سميت الناس؛ لذكر لفظ الناس فيها وتكرُّرِه خمس مرّات. من مقاصد السورة • تقرير توحيدَي الربوبية والألوهية؛ بتعليم النبي وأُمَّتِه وتربيتهم على الالتجاء إلى الله، والاستعاذةِ به ليكفيَهم شرَّ شياطين الإنس والجنِّ، الموسوسين لهم بتزيين طريقِ الشَّرِّ. [التفسير] قل -أيها الرسول-: أعوذ وأعتصم برب الناس، القادر وحده على ردِّ شر الوسواس.
