Commentary on 19:78
وَقَوله: ﴿أطلع الْغَيْب﴾ أَي: اللَّوْح الْمَحْفُوظ، وَقيل: علم الْغَيْب، فَعلم أَن لَهُ مَالا وَولدا بِعلم الْغَيْب؟ .
وَقَوله: ﴿أم اتخذ عِنْد الرَّحْمَن عهدا﴾ قَالَ سُفْيَان: عملا صَالحا، وَقَالَ غَيره: لَا إِلَه إِلَّا الله.
وروى الْأسود بن يزِيد، عَن عبد الله بن مَسْعُود، أَنه قَالَ: إِذا كَانَ يَوْم الْقِيَامَة يَقُول الله تَعَالَى: " من كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدِي عهد (فَليقمْ) . فَقيل: يَا أَبَا عبد الرَّحْمَن، وَمَا ذَلِك الْعَهْد؟ فَعلمنَا، فَقَالَ: قَالَ: " أَيعْجزُ أحدكُم أَن يتَّخذ كل صباح وَمَسَاء عهدا؟ قَالُوا: وَكَيف؟ قَالَ: يَقُول: اللَّهُمَّ فاطر السَّمَوَات وَالْأَرْض عَالم الْغَيْب وَالشَّهَادَة، إِنِّي أَتَّخِذ عنْدك عهدا فِي الْحَيَاة الدُّنْيَا، وَإنَّك إِن تَكِلنِي إِلَى نَفسِي تقربني من الشَّرّ، وَتُبَاعِدنِي من الْخَيْر، وَإِنِّي لَا أَثِق إِلَّا بِرَحْمَتك، فاحفظ عهدي تُؤَدِّيه إِلَيّ يَوْم الْقِيَامَة، إِنَّك لَا تخلف الميعاد ".

19:77
أَفَرَءَيۡتَ ٱلَّذِي كَفَرَ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَقَالَ لَأُوتَيَنَّ مَالٗا وَوَلَدًا ٧٧
Then, have you seen he who disbelieved in Our verses and said, "I will surely be given wealth and children [in the next life]"?
19:78
أَطَّلَعَ ٱلۡغَيۡبَ أَمِ ٱتَّخَذَ عِندَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ عَهۡدٗا ٧٨
Has he looked into the unseen, or has he taken from the Most Merciful a promise?
19:79
كـَلَّاۚ سَنَكۡتُبُ مَا يَقُولُ وَنَمُدُّ لَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ مَدّٗا ٧٩
No! We will record what he says and extend [i.e., increase] for him from the punishment extensively.
19:80
وَنَرِثُهُۥ مَا يَقُولُ وَيَأۡتِينَا فَرۡدٗا ٨٠
And We will inherit him [in] what he mentions,1 and he will come to Us alone.

- Instead of giving him wealth and children in the Hereafter, Allāh will take from him those he had in worldly life at the time of his death. ↩

وَٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ءَالِهَةٗ لِّيَكُونُواْ لَهُمۡ عِزّٗا ٨١
And they have taken besides Allāh [false] deities that they would be for them [a source of] honor.
19:82
كـَلَّاۚ سَيَكۡفُرُونَ بِعِبَادَتِهِمۡ وَيَكُونُونَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ضِدًّا ٨٢
No! They [i.e., those "gods"] will deny their worship of them and will be against them opponents [on the Day of Judgement].
19:83
أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا ٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ تَؤُزُّهُمۡ أَزّٗا ٨٣
Do you not see that We have sent the devils upon the disbelievers, inciting them [to evil] with [constant] incitement?
19:84
فَلَا تَعۡجَلۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡۖ إِنَّمَا نَعُدُّ لَهُمۡ عَدّٗا ٨٤
So be not impatient over them. We only count out [i.e., allow] to them a [limited] number.1
1 translator’s note

None will have [power of] intercession except he who had taken from the Most Merciful a covenant.1
