Tafseer

'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī

تفسير : (can we, when we are dead and have become mere dust and) rotten (bones, can we (then) verily be brought to book) because he denied resurrection after death?

Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī

تفسير : [that] when we are dead and have become dust and bones, we shall actually be called to account?” ’, that we shall be requited and reckoned with — he rejects [the truth of] this as well (as regards all three instances of the hamzas [sc. a-innaka, a-idhā, and a-innā] what has been mentioned above [applies]).
