Tafseer

'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī

تفسير : (and listen on) o muhammad, so that you can hear the description of it; it is also said that this means: strive, o muhammad, for the day when the angel blows the trumpet (the day when the crier crieth from a near place) close to heaven, from the dome of jerusalem, which is the closest spot on earth to heaven by about 12 miles; and it is also said this means: from a close distance from which they can hear from beneath their feet.

Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī

تفسير : and listen — o addressee to my words — on the day when the caller, namely, [the archangel] isrāfīl, calls out from a place that is near, to the heaven: this is the rock of the holy house [of jerusalem], the place on earth that is the nearest to the heaven. he [isrāfīl] will say: ‘o withered bones, severed limbs, torn flesh and scattered hairs! god verily commands you to come together for the passing of judgement’.
