إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُجَٰدِلُونَ فِيٓ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ بِغَيۡرِ سُلۡطَٰنٍ أَتَىٰهُمۡ إِن فِي صُدُورِهِمۡ إِلَّا كِبۡرٞ مَّا هُم بِبَٰلِغِيهِۚ فَٱسۡتَعِذۡ بِٱللَّهِۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡبَصِيرُ ٥٦
Indeed, those who dispute concerning the signs of Allāh without [any] evidence having come to them - there is not within their breasts except pride, [the extent of] which they cannot reach. So seek refuge in Allāh. Indeed, it is He who is the Hearing, the Seeing.

Commentary on 40:56
قَوْله تَعَالَى: ﴿إِن الَّذين يجادلون فِي آيَات الله﴾ أَي: فِي دفع آيَات الله بالتكذيب.
وَقَوله: ﴿بِغَيْر سُلْطَان أَتَاهُم﴾ أَي: أَتَاهُم بِغَيْر حجَّة.
وَقَوله: ﴿إِن فِي صُدُورهمْ إِلَّا كبر﴾ أَي: مَا فِي صُدُورهمْ إِلَّا كبر. وَالْكبر الَّذِي فِي صُدُورهمْ هُوَ الاستكبار عَن الْإِقْرَار بِالتَّوْحِيدِ. وَيُقَال: طلب الْغَلَبَة والعلو علو مُحَمَّد.
وَقَوله: ﴿مَا هم ببالغيه﴾ أَي: مَا هم ببالغي إرادتهم، وَكَانَ مُرَادهم أَن يهْلك مُحَمَّد وَيهْلك أَصْحَابه، ويندرس أَثَره ويصيروا حِكَايَة. وَيُقَال: كَانَ مُرَادهم أَن يغلبوا مُحَمَّدًا ويعلو أَمرهم أمره. وَفِي الْآيَة قَول ثَالِث، قَالَه ابْن جريج وَغَيره.
(وَهَذَا أَن) الْآيَة نزلت فِي الْيَهُود فَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ: يخرج منا فِي آخر الزَّمَان من يغلب على جَمِيع الأَرْض، وَيكون الْبَحْر إِلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ، والسحاب على رَأسه، وَيقتل ويحيي، وَمَعَهُ جبل من جنَّة، وجبل من نَار. قَالُوا: يَعْنِي أهل الْعلم وَهُوَ الدَّجَّال الَّذِي ذكره الرَّسُول، فَلَمَّا قَالُوا هَذَا أنزل الله تَعَالَى هَذِه الْآيَة.
وَمعنى قَوْله: ﴿مَا هم ببالغيه﴾ على هَذَا القَوْل أَن الْغَلَبَة لَا تكون للدجال على الْمُسلمين، بل تكون للْمُسلمين على الدَّجَّال، فَإِن عِيسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام ينزل وَيقتل الدَّجَّال نصْرَة للْمُسلمين.
وَقَوله: ﴿فاستعذ بِاللَّه﴾ أَي: من شرك الدَّجَّال على هَذَا القَوْل.
وَقَوله: ﴿إِنَّه هُوَ السَّمِيع الْبَصِير﴾ ظَاهر الْمَعْنى.

40:50
قَالُوٓاْ أَوَلَمۡ تَكُ تَأۡتِيكُمۡ رُسُلُكُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِۖ قَالُواْ بَلَىٰۚ قَالُواْ فَٱدۡعُواْۗ وَمَا دُعَٰٓؤُاْ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَٰلٍ ٥٠
They will say, "Did there not come to you your messengers with clear proofs?" They will say, "Yes." They will reply, "Then supplicate [yourselves], but the supplication of the disbelievers is not except in error [i.e., futility]."
40:51
إِنَّا لَنَنصُرُ رُسُلَنَا وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَيَوۡمَ يَقُومُ ٱلۡأَشۡهَٰدُ ٥١
Indeed, We will support Our messengers and those who believe during the life of this world and on the Day when the witnesses will stand -
40:52
يَوۡمَ لَا يَنفَعُ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ مَعۡذِرَتُهُمۡۖ وَلَهُمُ ٱللَّعۡنَةُ وَلَهُمۡ سُوٓءُ ٱلدَّارِ ٥٢
The Day their excuse will not benefit the wrongdoers, and they will have the curse, and they will have the worst home [i.e., Hell].
40:53
وَلَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَى ٱلۡهُدَىٰ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ ٥٣
And We had certainly given Moses guidance, and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit the Scripture
40:54
هُدٗى وَذِكۡرَىٰ لِأُوْلِي ٱلۡأَلۡبَٰبِ ٥٤
As guidance and a reminder for those of understanding.
40:55
فَٱصۡبِرۡ إِنَّ وَعۡدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقّٞ وَٱسۡتَغۡفِرۡ لِذَنۢبِكَ وَسَبِّحۡ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّكَ بِٱلۡعَشِيِّ وَٱلۡإِبۡكَٰرِ ٥٥
So be patient, [O Muḥammad]. Indeed, the promise of Allāh is truth. And ask forgiveness for your sin1 and exalt [Allāh] with praise of your Lord in the evening and the morning.
1 translator’s note
- What is intended is "fault" or "error" in judgement, since all prophets were protected by Allāh from falling into sin. The implication is that all believers should seek forgiveness for their sins. ↩
40:56
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُجَٰدِلُونَ فِيٓ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ بِغَيۡرِ سُلۡطَٰنٍ أَتَىٰهُمۡ إِن فِي صُدُورِهِمۡ إِلَّا كِبۡرٞ مَّا هُم بِبَٰلِغِيهِۚ فَٱسۡتَعِذۡ بِٱللَّهِۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡبَصِيرُ ٥٦
Indeed, those who dispute concerning the signs of Allāh without [any] evidence having come to them - there is not within their breasts except pride, [the extent of] which they cannot reach. So seek refuge in Allāh. Indeed, it is He who is the Hearing, the Seeing.
40:57
لَخَلۡقُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَكۡبَرُ مِنۡ خَلۡقِ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٥٧
The creation of the heavens and earth is greater than the creation of mankind, but most of the people do not know.
40:58
وَمَا يَسۡتَوِي ٱلۡأَعۡمَىٰ وَٱلۡبَصِيرُ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَلَا ٱلۡمُسِيٓءُۚ قَلِيلٗا مَّا تَتَذَكَّرُونَ ٥٨
And not equal are the blind and the seeing, nor are those who believe and do righteous deeds and the evildoer. Little do you remember.
