﴿6-7﴾ “On the Day when Allah resurrects them all and informs them of what they did. Allah has kept an account of it, though they have forgotten it. And Allah is Witness over all things.”
Allah Most High says: “On the Day when Allah resurrects them” all together, “they will rise swiftly from their graves.” He will then recompense them for their deeds and “inform them of what they did,” whether good or evil, for He knew it, inscribed it in the Preserved Tablet, and commanded the noble recording angels to record it. All this while those who committed these deeds have forgotten what they did, but Allah has kept an account of it.
“And Allah is Witness over all things”: what is outward (1), what lies within, and everything concealed and hidden.
(1) In manuscript B: “over outward things.”
﴿٦-٧﴾ ﴿يَوْمَ يَبْعَثُهُمُ اللَّهُ جَمِيعًا فَيُنَبِّئُهُمْ بِمَا عَمِلُوا أَحْصَاهُ اللَّهُ وَنَسُوهُ وَاللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ﴾ .
يقول الله تعالى: ﴿يوم يبعثهم الله﴾ جميعا "فيقومون من أجداثهم سريعا" فيجازيهم بأعمالهم ﴿فَيُنَبِّئُهُمْ بِمَا عَمِلُوا﴾ من خير وشر، لأنه علم ذلك، وكتبه في اللوح المحفوظ، وأمر الملائكة الكرام الحفظة بكتابته، هذا ﴿و﴾ العاملون قد نسوا ما عملوه، والله أحصى ذلك.
﴿وَاللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ﴾ بالظواهر (١) والسرائر، والخبايا والخفايا.
(١) في ب: على الظواهر.
