Tafseer

'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī

تفسير : (is he whom we have promised a fair promise) paradise; the reference here is to muhammad (pbuh) and his companions; it is also said that the reference is to 'uthman ibn 'affan (which he will find (true)) in the hereafter (like him whom we suffer to enjoy awhile the comfort of the life of the world) like him whom we gave wealth and servants in the life of the world; the reference here is to abu jahl, (then on the day of resurrection he will be of those arraigned) of those who are tormented in hell?

Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī

تفسير : is he to whom we have given a fair promise, which he will receive, which he will attain, and that [promise] is paradise, like him to whom we have given the enjoyment of the life of this world, [enjoyment] which will disappear soon, then on the day of resurrection he will be of those arraigned?, before the fire. the former is the believer, the latter the disbeliever: in other words the two are not equal.
