Tafseer
'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī
تفسير : (we are best aware of what they utter) regarding the resurrection (when their best in conduct) the best of them in intellect, the most sound of judgement and the most truthful in words (say: ye have tarried) in your graves (but a day).
Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī
تفسير : we know very well what they will say, regarding this matter — that is, it is not as they say — when the justest, the most upright, of them in the way, in this, will say, ‘you have tarried only a day’: they will deem their stay in this world as having been very brief, on account of the terrors they will witness in the hereafter.
