Commentary on 10:47
٤٧ – ﴿وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٖ﴾ من الأمم السابقة ﴿رَّسُولٞۖ﴾ يدعوهم إلى توحيد الله ودينه ، ويبين لهم شرعه وأحكامه، ويرشدهم إلى ما فيه صلاحهم في معاشهم ومعادهم . ﴿فَإِذَا جَآءَ رَسُولُهُمۡ﴾ وبلغهم ما أرسله الله به ، فكذبوه.﴿قُضِيَ بَيۡنَهُم﴾ أي: بين الأمة ورسولها ﴿بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ﴾ أي: بالعدل في الدنيا ، فنجا الرسول ومن صدّقه ، وهلك المكذبون به . ﴿وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ﴾ بتعذيبهم قبل إرسال الرسول وبيان الحجة ، أو : بغير جرم ، فليحذر المكذبون بك من مشابهة الأمم المهلكة ، فيحل بهم ، ما حل بأولئك. ويجوز أن يكون المعنى : (فإذا جاء رسولهم) أي : يوم القيامة ، يشهد عليهم بالبلاغ ، والكفر والإيمان، فإذا شهد بذلك (قضي بينهم) أي: بين الأمة ورسولها (بالقسط) أي: بالعدل في يوم الجزاء ، فحكم بنجاة المؤمنين ، وعقاب الكافرين ، (وهم لا يظلمون) شيئا أصلا ، في ذلك القضاء .و في الصحيحين عن رسول الله ﷺ أنه قال :«نحن الآخرون السابقون يوم القيامة، المقضي لهم قبل الخلائق».

10:43
وَمِنۡهُم مَّن يَنظُرُ إِلَيۡكَۚ أَفَأَنتَ تَهۡدِي ٱلۡعُمۡيَ وَلَوۡ كَانُواْ لَا يُبۡصِرُونَ ٤٣
And among them are those who look at you. But can you guide the blind although they will not [attempt to] see?
10:44
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَظۡلِمُ ٱلنَّاسَ شَيۡـٔٗا وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱلنَّاسَ أَنفُسَهُمۡ يَظۡلِمُونَ ٤٤
Indeed, Allāh does not wrong the people at all, but it is the people who are wronging themselves.
10:45
وَيَوۡمَ يَحۡشُرُهُمۡ كَأَن لَّمۡ يَلۡبَثُوٓاْ إِلَّا سَاعَةٗ مِّنَ ٱلنَّهَارِ يَتَعَارَفُونَ بَيۡنَهُمۡۚ قَدۡ خَسِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِلِقَآءِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا كَانُواْ مُهۡتَدِينَ ٤٥
And on the Day when He will gather them, [it will be] as if they had not remained [in the world] but an hour of the day, [and] they will know each other. Those will have lost who denied the meeting with Allāh and were not guided.
10:46
وَإِمَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعۡضَ ٱلَّذِي نَعِدُهُمۡ أَوۡ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِلَيۡنَا مَرۡجِعُهُمۡ ثُمَّ ٱللَّهُ شَهِيدٌ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفۡعَلُونَ ٤٦
And whether We show you some of what We promise them, [O Muḥammad], or We take you in death, to Us is their return; then, [either way], Allāh is a witness concerning what they are doing.
10:47
وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٖ رَّسُولٞۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ رَسُولُهُمۡ قُضِيَ بَيۡنَهُم بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ ٤٧
And for every nation is a messenger. So when their messenger comes,1 it will be judged between them in justice, and they will not be wronged.

10:48
وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلۡوَعۡدُ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ ٤٨
And they say, "When is [the fulfillment of] this promise, if you should be truthful?"
10:49
قُل لَّآ أَمۡلِكُ لِنَفۡسِي ضَرّٗا وَلَا نَفۡعًا إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۗ لِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلٌۚ إِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمۡ فَلَا يَسۡتَـٔۡخِرُونَ سَاعَةٗ وَلَا يَسۡتَقۡدِمُونَ ٤٩
Say, "I possess not for myself any harm or benefit except what Allāh should will. For every nation is a [specified] term. When their time has come, then they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it]."
10:50
قُلۡ أَرَءَيۡتُمۡ إِنۡ أَتَىٰكُمۡ عَذَابُهُۥ بَيَٰتًا أَوۡ نَهَارٗا مَّاذَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُ مِنۡهُ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ ٥٠
Say, "Have you considered: if His punishment should come to you by night or by day - for which [aspect] of it would the criminals be impatient?"1

- "Impatience" refers to the disbelievers' ridicule of the Prophet (ﷺ) by telling him to produce Allāh's punishment as proof of his truthfulness. ↩
10:51
أَثُمَّ إِذَا مَا وَقَعَ ءَامَنتُم بِهِۦٓۚ ءَآلۡـَٰٔنَ وَقَدۡ كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ ٥١
Then is it that when it has [actually] occurred you will believe in it? Now?1 And you were [once] for it impatient.2
10:52
ثُمَّ قِيلَ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ ذُوقُواْ عَذَابَ ٱلۡخُلۡدِ هَلۡ تُجۡزَوۡنَ إِلَّا بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَكۡسِبُونَ ٥٢
Then it will be said to those who had wronged, "Taste the punishment of eternity; are you being recompensed except for what you used to earn?"
10:53
۞ وَيَسۡتَنۢبِـُٔونَكَ أَحَقٌّ هُوَۖ قُلۡ إِي وَرَبِّيٓ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقّٞۖ وَمَآ أَنتُم بِمُعۡجِزِينَ ٥٣
And they ask information of you, [O Muḥammad], "Is it true?" Say, "Yes, by my Lord. Indeed, it is truth; and you will not cause failure [to Allāh]."
