Commentary on Surah al-Naba

“In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.

“What are they asking one another about? About the momentous news over which they disagree. No indeed! They will come to know. Again, no indeed! They will come to know. Have We not made the earth a resting place, and the mountains as stakes; created you in pairs; made your sleep a means of rest; made the night a covering; made the day a time for livelihood; built above you seven mighty heavens; made a blazing lamp; and sent down abundant, pouring water from the rain clouds, so that by it We might bring forth grain and vegetation, and gardens of dense growth?”

The basmala was discussed previously.

“What are they asking one another about?” means: What are these people asking one another about? Allah, Mighty and Majestic, then answered this question: “About the momentous news over which they disagree.” This momentous news is the clear proofs and guidance brought by the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, particularly his reports concerning the Last Day, the resurrection, and recompense. People differed over this news brought by the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: some believed in it and affirmed its truth; some rejected and denied it; and some doubted it and wavered.

Allah therefore made it clear that those who denied it would come to know with absolute certainty what they had denied. That will occur when they behold the Day of Resurrection—the day when its fulfillment comes, and those who had previously forgotten it will say, “Our Lord’s messengers certainly brought the truth.” For this reason, He says here, Glorified is He: “No indeed! They will come to know. Again, no indeed! They will come to know.”

The second sentence reinforces the first in meaning, although it is not technically an emphatic repetition according to the terminology of the grammarians, because it is separated from the preceding sentence by a conjunction, whereas an emphatic expression cannot be separated from the expression it reinforces by anything from among the—

تفسير سورة النبأ ﴿بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ﴾ ﴿عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ * عَنِ النَّبَإِ الْعَظِيمِ * الَّذِى هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ * كَلَاّ سَيَعْلَمُونَ * ثُمَّ كَلَاّ سَيَعْلَمُونَ * أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ الَاْرْضَ مِهَداً * وَالْجِبَالَ أَوْتَاداً * وَخَلَقْنَكُمْ أَزْوَجاً * وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتاً * وَجَعَلْنَا الَّيْلَ لِبَاساً * وَجَعَلْنَا النَّهَارَ مَعَاشاً * وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعاً شِدَاداً * وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجاً وَهَّاجاً * وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ الْمُعْصِرَاتِ مَآءً ثَجَّاجاً * لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِ حَبّاً وَنَبَاتاً * وَجَنَّتٍ أَلْفَافاً﴾ . البسملة تقدم الكلام عليها. ﴿عم يتساءلون﴾ يعني عم يتساءل هؤلاء، ثم أجاب الله ﷿ عن هذا السؤال فقال: ﴿عن النبأ العظيم. الذي هم فيه مختلفون﴾ وهذا النبأ هو ما جاء به النبي ﵌ من البينات والهدى، ولاسيما ما جاء به من الأخبار عن اليوم الآخر والبعث والجزاء، وقد اختلف الناس في هذا النبأ الذي جاء به النبي ﵌: فمنهم من آمن به وصدق، ومنهم من كفر به وكذب، ومنهم من شك فيه وتردد فبين الله أن هؤلاء الذين كذبوا سيعلمون ما كذبوا به علم اليقين، وذلك إذا رأوا يوم القيامة يوم يأتي تأويله يقول الذين نسوه من قبل قد جاءت رسل ربنا بالحق، ولهذا قال سبحانه هنا: ﴿كلا سيعلمون. ثم كلا سيعلمون﴾ والجملة الثانية توكيدٌ للأولى من حيث المعنى، وإن كانت ليست توكيداً باعتبار اصطلاح النحويين؛ لأنه فُصل بينها وبين التي قبلها بحرف العطف، والتوكيد لا يُفصل بينه وبين مؤكدة بشيء من
