Commentary on 20:108
( يومئذ يتبعون الداعي ) أي : صوت الداعي الذي يدعوهم إلى موقف القيامة ، وهو إسرافيل ، وذلك أنه يضع الصور في فيه ، ويقول : أيتها العظام البالية والجلود المتمزقة واللحوم المتفرقة هلموا إلى عرض الرحمن .
( لا عوج له ) أي : لدعائه ، وهو من المقلوب ، أي : لا عوج لهم عن دعاء الداعي ، لا يزيغون عنه يمينا وشمالا ولا يقدرون عليه بل يتبعونه سراعا .
( وخشعت الأصوات للرحمن ) أي : سكنت وذلت وخضعت ، ووصف الأصوات بالخشوع والمراد أهلها ، ( فلا تسمع إلا همسا ) يعني صوت وطء الأقدام إلى المحشر ، و " الهمس " : الصوت الخفي كصوت أخفاف الإبل في المشي . وقال مجاهد : هو تخافت الكلام وخفض الصوت .
وروى سعيد بن جبير عن ابن عباس قال : تحريك الشفاه من غير نطق .
