Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī
تفسير : does each one of them hope to be admitted into a garden of bliss?
Ali ibn Ahmad al-Wahidi
تفسير : (doth every man among them hope to enter the garden of delight? nay…) [70:38-39].
the commentators of the qur’an said: “the idolaters used to gather round the prophet, allah bless him and give him peace, to listen to him but did not benefit from him. instead, they gave him the lie and mocked him. they said: ‘if these were to enter paradise, we shall certainly enter it before them, and we will have more wealth therein than they will ever have’. and so allah, exalted is he, revealed this verse”.
