Commentary on 19:59
قَوْله تَعَالَى: ﴿فخلف من بعدهمْ خلف﴾ الْخلف: الرَّدِيء من الْقَوْم. وَالْخلف الصَّالح فِي الْقَوْم. وَالْخلف هُوَ الَّذِي يخلف غَيره، وَذكر الْفراء والزجاج أَنه يجوز أَن يسْتَعْمل أَحدهمَا مَكَان الآخر.
وَقَوله: ﴿أضاعوا الصَّلَاة﴾ . فِيهِ قَولَانِ: أَحدهمَا: أخروها عَن وَقتهَا، وَالْآخر: تركوها أصلا. وَعَن ابْن شَوْذَب: هُوَ التَّأْخِير عَن الْوَقْت، وَلَو تركوها أصلا لكفروا.
وَقَالَ عمر بن عبد الْعَزِيز: هُوَ شربهم الْخمر، وتركهم الصَّلَاة.
وَقَالَ مُجَاهِد: هَؤُلَاءِ قوم يظهرون فِي آخر الزَّمَان ينزوا بَعضهم على بعض فِي الْأَسْوَاق والأزقة، وَقيل: هم الزناة. وَيُقَال: أضاعوا الصَّلَاة بِاتِّبَاع الشَّهَوَات.
وَقَوله: ﴿فَسَوف يلقون غيا﴾ قيل: الغي وَاد فِي جَهَنَّم، وَقيل: غيا: هَلَاكًا، وَقيل: غيا: جُزْءا غيهم. شعر:
(وَمن يلق خيرا يحمد النَّاس أمره ... وَمن يغو لَا يعْدم على الغي لائما)

وَنَٰدَيۡنَٰهُ مِن جَانِبِ ٱلطُّورِ ٱلۡأَيۡمَنِ وَقَرَّبۡنَٰهُ نَجِيّٗا ٥٢

19:53
وَوَهَبۡنَا لَهُۥ مِن رَّحۡمَتِنَآ أَخَاهُ هَٰرُونَ نَبِيّٗا ٥٣
And We gave him out of Our mercy his brother Aaron as a prophet.
19:54
وَٱذۡكُرۡ فِي ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ إِسۡمَٰعِيلَۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ صَادِقَ ٱلۡوَعۡدِ وَكَانَ رَسُولٗا نَّبِيّٗا ٥٤
And mention in the Book, Ishmael. Indeed, he was true to his promise, and he was a messenger and a prophet.
19:55
وَكَانَ يَأۡمُرُ أَهۡلَهُۥ بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱلزَّكَوٰةِ وَكَانَ عِندَ رَبِّهِۦ مَرۡضِيّٗا ٥٥
And he used to enjoin on his people prayer and zakāh and was to his Lord pleasing [i.e., accepted by Him].
19:56

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنۡعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ مِن ذُرِّيَّةِ ءَادَمَ وَمِمَّنۡ حَمَلۡنَا مَعَ نُوحٖ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّةِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَإِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ وَمِمَّنۡ هَدَيۡنَا وَٱجۡتَبَيۡنَآۚ إِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ خَرُّواْۤ سُجَّدٗاۤ وَبُكِيّٗا۩ ٥٨
Those were the ones upon whom Allāh bestowed favor from among the prophets of the descendants of Adam and of those We carried [in the ship] with Noah, and of the descendants of Abraham and Israel [i.e., Jacob], and of those whom We guided and chose. When the verses of the Most Merciful were recited to them, they fell in prostration and weeping.
19:59
۞ فَخَلَفَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡ خَلۡفٌ أَضَاعُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَٱتَّبَعُواْ ٱلشَّهَوَٰتِۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَلۡقَوۡنَ غَيًّا ٥٩

Except those who repent, believe and do righteousness; for those will enter Paradise and will not be wronged at all.
19:61
جَنَّٰتِ عَدۡنٍ ٱلَّتِي وَعَدَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ عِبَادَهُۥ بِٱلۡغَيۡبِۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ وَعۡدُهُۥ مَأۡتِيّٗا ٦١

They will not hear therein any ill speech - only [greetings of] peace - and they will have their provision therein, morning and afternoon.
