Commentary on 41:29
﴿وقالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا﴾ وهم مُتَقَلِّبُونَ فِيما ذُكِرَ مِنَ العَذابِ.
﴿رَبَّنا أرِنا اللَّذَيْنِ أضَلانا مِنَ الجِنِّ والإنْسِ﴾ يَعْنُونَ فَرِيقَيْ شَياطِينِ النَّوْعَيْنِ المُقَيَّضِينَ لَهُمُ الحامِلِينَ لَهم عَلى الكُفْرِ والمَعاصِي بِالتَّسْوِيلِ والتَّزْيِينِ، وعَنْعَلِيٍّ كَرَّمَ اللَّهُ وجْهَهُ وقَتادَةَ أنَّهُما إبْلِيسُ وقابِيلُ فَإنَّهُما سَبَبا الكُفْرِ والقَتْلِ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ.
وتُعُقِّبَ بِأنَّهُ لا يَصِحُّ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ كَرَّمَ اللَّهُ تَعالى وجْهَهُ فَإنَّ قابِيلَ مُؤْمِنٌ عاصٍ، والظّاهِرُ أنَّ الكُفّارَ إنَّما طَلَبُوا إراءَةَ المُضِلِّينَ بِالكُفْرِ المُؤَدِّي إلى الخُلُودِ وكَوْنُهم رَئِيسَ الكَفَرَةِ ورَئِيسَ أهْلِ الكَبائِرِ خِلافَ الظّاهِرِ، وقَرَأ ابْنُ كَثِيرٍ وابْنُ عامِرٍ ويَعْقُوبُ وأبُو بَكْرٍ «أرِنا» بِالتَّخْفِيفِ كَفَخْذٍ بِالسُّكُونِ في فَخِذٍ، وفي الكَشّافِ «أرِنا» بِالكَسْرِ لِلِاسْتِبْصارِ وبِالسُّكُونِ لِلِاسْتِعْطاءِ ونَقَلَهُ عَنِ الخَلِيلِ، فَمَعْنى القِراءَةِ عَلَيْهِ أعْطِنا اللَّذَيْنِ أضَلّانا ﴿نَجْعَلْهُما تَحْتَ أقْدامِنا﴾ نَدُوسُهُما بِها انْتِقامًا مِنهُما، وقِيلَ: نَجْعَلُهُما في الدَّرْكِ الأسْفَلِ مِنَ النّارِ لِيَشْتَدَّ عَذابُهُما فالمُرادُ نَجْعَلُهُما في الجِهَةِ الَّتِي تَحْتَ أقْدامِنا، وقُرِئَ في السَّبْعَةِ «اللَّذَيْنِّ» بِتَشْدِيدِ النُّونِ وهي حُجَّةٌ عَلى البَصْرِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ لا يُجَوِّزُونَ التَّشْدِيدَ فِيها في حالِ كَوْنِها بِالياءِ وكَذا في اللَّتَيْنِ وهَذَيْنِ وهاتَيْنِ ﴿لِيَكُونا مِنَ الأسْفَلِينَ﴾ ذُلًّا ومَهانَةً أوْ مَكانًا.

41:21
وَقَالُواْ لِجُلُودِهِمۡ لِمَ شَهِدتُّمۡ عَلَيۡنَاۖ قَالُوٓاْ أَنطَقَنَا ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنطَقَ كُلَّ شَيۡءٖۚ وَهُوَ خَلَقَكُمۡ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٖ وَإِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُونَ ٢١
And they will say to their skins, "Why have you testified against us?" They will say, "We were made to speak by Allāh, who has made everything speak; and He created you the first time, and to Him you are returned.
41:22
وَمَا كُنتُمۡ تَسۡتَتِرُونَ أَن يَشۡهَدَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ سَمۡعُكُمۡ وَلَآ أَبۡصَٰرُكُمۡ وَلَا جُلُودُكُمۡ وَلَٰكِن ظَنَنتُمۡ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَعۡلَمُ كَثِيرٗا مِّمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ ٢٢
And you were not covering [i.e., protecting] yourselves,1 lest your hearing testify against you or your sight or your skins, but you assumed that Allāh does not know much of what you do.
1 translator’s note
- With righteousness or by fearing Allāh. ↩
41:23
وَذَٰلِكُمۡ ظَنُّكُمُ ٱلَّذِي ظَنَنتُم بِرَبِّكُمۡ أَرۡدَىٰكُمۡ فَأَصۡبَحۡتُم مِّنَ ٱلۡخَٰسِرِينَ ٢٣
And that was your assumption which you assumed about your Lord. It has brought you to ruin, and you have become among the losers."
41:24
فَإِن يَصۡبِرُواْ فَٱلنَّارُ مَثۡوٗى لَّهُمۡۖ وَإِن يَسۡتَعۡتِبُواْ فَمَا هُم مِّنَ ٱلۡمُعۡتَبِينَ ٢٤
So [even] if they are patient, the Fire is a residence for them; and if they ask to appease [Allāh], they will not be of those who are allowed to appease.
41:25
۞ وَقَيَّضۡنَا لَهُمۡ قُرَنَآءَ فَزَيَّنُواْ لَهُم مَّا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَهُمۡ وَحَقَّ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡقَوۡلُ فِيٓ أُمَمٖ قَدۡ خَلَتۡ مِن قَبۡلِهِم مِّنَ ٱلۡجِنِّ وَٱلۡإِنسِۖ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ خَٰسِرِينَ ٢٥
And We appointed for them companions1 who made attractive to them what was before them and what was behind them [of sin], and the word [i.e., decree] has come into effect upon them among nations which had passed on before them of jinn and men. Indeed, they [all] were losers.

- In this world among the evil jinn and men. ↩
41:26
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَا تَسۡمَعُواْ لِهَٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ وَٱلۡغَوۡاْ فِيهِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَغۡلِبُونَ ٢٦
And those who disbelieve say, "Do not listen to this Qur’ān and speak noisily1 during [the recitation of] it that perhaps you will overcome."
1 translator’s note
- Other meanings include "speak improperly" and/or "make a clamor." The purpose of this was to prevent the hearing or understanding of the Qur’ān. ↩
41:27
فَلَنُذِيقَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ عَذَابٗا شَدِيدٗا وَلَنَجۡزِيَنَّهُمۡ أَسۡوَأَ ٱلَّذِي كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ ٢٧
But We will surely cause those who disbelieve to taste a severe punishment, and We will surely recompense them for the worst of what they had been doing.
41:28
ذَٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ أَعۡدَآءِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلنَّارُۖ لَهُمۡ فِيهَا دَارُ ٱلۡخُلۡدِ جَزَآءَۢ بِمَا كَانُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا يَجۡحَدُونَ ٢٨
That is the recompense of the enemies of Allāh - the Fire. For them therein is the home of eternity as recompense for what they, of Our verses, were rejecting.
41:29
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ رَبَّنَآ أَرِنَا ٱلَّذَيۡنِ أَضَلَّانَا مِنَ ٱلۡجِنِّ وَٱلۡإِنسِ نَجۡعَلۡهُمَا تَحۡتَ أَقۡدَامِنَا لِيَكُونَا مِنَ ٱلۡأَسۡفَلِينَ ٢٩
