Commentary on 102:4
وقوله: ( ثُمَّ كَلا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ) يقول: ثم ما هكذا ينبغي أن تفعلوا أن يلهيكم التكاثر بالأموال، وكثرة العدد، سوف تعلمون إذا زرتم المقابر، ما تلقون إذا أنتم زرتموها، من مكروه اشتغالكم عن طاعة ربكم بالتكاثر. وكرّر قوله: ( كَلا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ) مرتين، لأن العرب إذا أرادت التغليظ في التخويف والتهديد كرّروا الكلمة مرتين.
ورُوي عن الضحاك في ذلك ما حدثنا به ابن حميد، قال: ثنا مهران، عن أبي سنان، عن ثابت، عن الضحاك ( كَلا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ) قال: الكفار ( ثُمَّ كَلا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ) قال: المؤمنون. وكذلك كان يقرأها.
