Tafsir al-BaghawiAl-Baghawi

“They will not hear even the slightest sound of it, while they will abide forever in all that their souls desire. The greatest terror will not grieve them, and the angels will receive them, saying, ‘This is your Day, which you were promised.’”

“They will not hear even the slightest sound of it”: that is, its sound and the movement of its blazing flames, once they have taken up their abodes in Paradise. Hiss and hasīs mean a faint sound. “While they will abide forever in all that their souls desire”—remaining therein, as He says: “Therein will be whatever souls desire and delights the eyes” (al-Zukhruf: 71).

“The greatest terror will not grieve them.” Ibn Abbas said: The greatest terror is the final blast, as indicated by His saying, Exalted is He: “And on the Day the Trumpet is blown, all who are in the heavens and all who are on the earth will be terrified” (al-Naml: 87). Al-Hasan said: It is when a servant is commanded to be taken to the Fire. Ibn Jurayj said: It is when death is slaughtered and the call is made: “O people of Paradise, everlasting life and no death; O people of the Fire, everlasting life and no death.” Sa'id ibn Jubayr and al-Dahhak said: It is when Hell closes over them; and that will be after Allah has brought out of it whomever He wills to bring out. (1)

“And the angels will receive them”: that is, the angels will welcome them at the gates of Paradise, congratulating them and saying: “This is your Day, which you were promised.”

(1) Al-Tabari records these views in 17:98-99, then gives preference to the following: “The soundest view is that this will occur at the final blast of the Trumpet. For whoever is not distressed by that greatest terror and is secure from it is even more likely not to be terrified by what follows it; whereas whoever is terrified by it cannot be considered safe from terror at what follows it.”

﴿لَا يَسْمَعُونَ حَسِيسَهَا وَهُمْ فِي مَا اشْتَهَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ خَالِدُونَ (١٠٢) لَا يَحْزُنُهُمُ الْفَزَعُ الْأَكْبَرُ وَتَتَلَقَّاهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ هَذَا يَوْمُكُمُ الَّذِي كُنْتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ (١٠٣) ﴾ ﴿لَا يَسْمَعُونَ حَسِيسَهَا﴾ يَعْنِي صَوْتَهَا وَحَرَكَةَ تَلَهُّبِهَا إِذَا نَزَلُوا مَنَازِلَهُمْ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، وَالْحِسُّ وَالْحَسِيسُ: الصَّوْتُ الْخَفِيُّ: ﴿وَهُمْ فِي مَا اشْتَهَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ خَالِدُونَ﴾ مُقِيمُونَ كَمَا قَالَ: ﴿وَفِيهَا مَا تَشْتَهِيهِ الْأَنْفُسُ وَتَلَذُّ الْأَعْيُنُ﴾ (الزَّخْرُفِ: ٧١) . ﴿لَا يَحْزُنُهُمُ الْفَزَعُ الْأَكْبَرُ﴾ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: الْفَزَعُ الْأَكْبَرُ: النَّفْخَةُ الْأَخِيرَةُ بِدَلِيلِ قَوْلِهِ ﷿: ﴿وَيَوْمَ يُنْفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ فَفَزِعَ من في السموات ومن فِي الْأَرْضِ﴾ (النَّمُلِ: ٨٧) ، قَالَ الْحَسَنُ: حِينَ يُؤْمَرُ بِالْعَبْدِ إِلَى النَّارِ. قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ: حِينَ يُذْبَحُ الْمَوْتُ وَيُنَادَى يَا أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ خُلُودٌ فَلَا مَوْتَ، وَيَا أَهْلَ النَّارِ خُلُودٌ فَلَا مَوْتَ. وَقَالَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ وَالضَّحَّاكُ: هُوَ أَنْ تُطْبِقَ عَلَيْهِمْ جَهَنَّمُ وَذَلِكَ بَعْدَ أَنْ يُخْرِجَ اللَّهُ مِنْهَا مَنْ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُخْرِجَهُ (١) . ﴿وَتَتَلَقَّاهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ﴾ أَيْ تَسْتَقْبِلُهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ +يُهَنِّئُونَهُمْ، وَيَقُولُونَ: ﴿هَذَا يَوْمُكُمُ الَّذِي كُنْتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ﴾

(١) أخرج هذه الأقوال الطبري: ١٧ / ٩٨ - ٩٩، ثم رجح قائلا: وأولى الأقوال في ذلك بالصواب، قول من قال: ذلك عند النفخة الآخرة، وذلك أن من لم يحزنه ذلك الفزع الأكبر، وأمن منه، فهو مما بعده أحرى أن لا يفزع، وأن من أفزعه ذلك فغير مأمون عليه الفزع مما بعده.
