Fussilat 41:50
Explained in Detail · Juz 25 · Page 482
وَلَئِنۡ أَذَقۡنَٰهُ رَحۡمَةٗ مِّنَّا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتۡهُ لَيَقُولَنَّ هَٰذَا لِي وَمَآ أَظُنُّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ قَآئِمَةٗ وَلَئِن رُّجِعۡتُ إِلَىٰ رَبِّيٓ إِنَّ لِي عِندَهُۥ لَلۡحُسۡنَىٰۚ فَلَنُنَبِّئَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِمَا عَمِلُواْ وَلَنُذِيقَنَّهُم مِّنۡ عَذَابٍ غَلِيظٖ ٥٠
And if We let him taste mercy from Us after an adversity which has touched him, he will surely say, "This is [due] to me,1 and I do not think the Hour will occur; and [even] if I should be returned to my Lord, indeed, for me there will be with Him the best." But We will surely inform those who disbelieved about what they did, and We will surely make them taste a massive punishment.

Commentary on 41:50
﴿فَلَنُنَبِّئَنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِما عَمِلُوا ولَنُذِيقَنَّهم مِن عَذابٍ غَلِيظٍ﴾ .
تَفْرِيعٌ عَلى جُمْلَةِ ﴿ويَوْمَ يُنادِيهِمْ أيْنَ شُرَكائِي﴾ [فصلت: ٤٧] وما اتَّصَلَ بِها؛ أيْ فَلَنُعْلِمَنَّهم بِما عَمِلُوا عَلَنًا يَعْلَمُونَ بِهِ أنّا لا يَخْفى عَلَيْنا شَيْءٌ مِمّا عَمِلُوهُ وتَقْرِيعًا لَهم.
وقَوْلُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إظْهارٌ في مَقامِ الإضْمارِ، ومُقْتَضى الظّاهِرِ أنْ يُقالَ: ولَنُنَبِّئَنَّهم بِما عَمِلُوا، فَعَدَلَ إلى المَوْصُولِ وصِلَتِهِ لِما تُؤْذِنُ بِهِ الصِّلَةُ مِن عِلَّةِ اسْتِحْقاقِهِمُ الإذاقَةَ بِما عَمِلُوا وإذاقَةَ العَذابِ. وقَوْلُهُ: ﴿ولَنُذِيقَنَّهم مِن عَذابٍ غَلِيظٍ﴾ هو المَقْصُودُ مِنَ التَّفْرِيعِ.
والغَلِيظُ حَقِيقَتُهُ: الصُّلْبُ، قالَ تَعالى: ﴿فاسْتَغْلَظَ فاسْتَوى عَلى سُوقِهِ﴾ [الفتح: ٢٩]، وهو هُنا مُسْتَعارٌ لِلْقَوِيِّ في نَوْعِهِ، أيْ عَذابٍ شَدِيدِ الإيلامِ والتَّعْذِيبِ، كَما اسْتُعِيرَ لِلْقَساوَةِ في المُعامَلَةِ في قَوْلِهِ: واغْلُظْ عَلَيْهِمْ وقَوْلِهِ: ﴿ولْيَجِدُوا فِيكم غِلْظَةً﴾ [التوبة: ١٢٣] .
الإذاقَةُ: مَجازٌ في مُطْلَقِ الإصابَةِ في الحِسِّ لِإطْماعِهِمْ أنَّها إصابَةٌ خَفِيفَةٌ كَإصابَةِ الذَّوْقِ بِاللِّسانِ. وهَذا تَجْرِيدٌ لِلْمَجازِ كَما أنَّ وصْفَهُ بِالغَلِيظِ تَجْرِيدٌ ثانٍ فَحَصَلَ مِن ذَلِكَ ابْتِداءٌ مُطْمِعٌ وانْتِهاءٌ مُؤْيِسٌ.

41:47
۞ إِلَيۡهِ يُرَدُّ عِلۡمُ ٱلسَّاعَةِۚ وَمَا تَخۡرُجُ مِن ثَمَرَٰتٖ مِّنۡ أَكۡمَامِهَا وَمَا تَحۡمِلُ مِنۡ أُنثَىٰ وَلَا تَضَعُ إِلَّا بِعِلۡمِهِۦۚ وَيَوۡمَ يُنَادِيهِمۡ أَيۡنَ شُرَكَآءِي قَالُوٓاْ ءَاذَنَّٰكَ مَا مِنَّا مِن شَهِيدٖ ٤٧
To Him [alone] is attributed knowledge of the Hour. And fruits emerge not from their coverings nor does a female conceive or give birth except with His knowledge. And the Day He will call to them, "Where are My 'partners'?" they will say, "We announce to You that there is [no longer] among us any witness [to that]."
41:48
وَضَلَّ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَدۡعُونَ مِن قَبۡلُۖ وَظَنُّواْ مَا لَهُم مِّن مَّحِيصٖ ٤٨
And lost from them will be those they were invoking before, and they will be certain that they have no place of escape.
41:49
لَّا يَسۡـَٔمُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مِن دُعَآءِ ٱلۡخَيۡرِ وَإِن مَّسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ فَيَـُٔوسٞ قَنُوطٞ ٤٩
Man is not weary of supplication for good [things], but if evil touches him, he is hopeless and despairing.
41:50
وَلَئِنۡ أَذَقۡنَٰهُ رَحۡمَةٗ مِّنَّا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتۡهُ لَيَقُولَنَّ هَٰذَا لِي وَمَآ أَظُنُّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ قَآئِمَةٗ وَلَئِن رُّجِعۡتُ إِلَىٰ رَبِّيٓ إِنَّ لِي عِندَهُۥ لَلۡحُسۡنَىٰۚ فَلَنُنَبِّئَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِمَا عَمِلُواْ وَلَنُذِيقَنَّهُم مِّنۡ عَذَابٍ غَلِيظٖ ٥٠
And if We let him taste mercy from Us after an adversity which has touched him, he will surely say, "This is [due] to me,1 and I do not think the Hour will occur; and [even] if I should be returned to my Lord, indeed, for me there will be with Him the best." But We will surely inform those who disbelieved about what they did, and We will surely make them taste a massive punishment.

41:51
وَإِذَآ أَنۡعَمۡنَا عَلَى ٱلۡإِنسَٰنِ أَعۡرَضَ وَنَـَٔا بِجَانِبِهِۦ وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ فَذُو دُعَآءٍ عَرِيضٖ ٥١
And when We bestow favor upon man, he turns away and distances himself; but when evil touches him, then he is full of extensive supplication.
41:52
قُلۡ أَرَءَيۡتُمۡ إِن كَانَ مِنۡ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ كَفَرۡتُم بِهِۦ مَنۡ أَضَلُّ مِمَّنۡ هُوَ فِي شِقَاقِۭ بَعِيدٖ ٥٢
Say, "Have you considered: if it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is from Allāh and you disbelieved in it, who would be more astray than one who is in extreme dissension?"
41:53
سَنُرِيهِمۡ ءَايَٰتِنَا فِي ٱلۡأٓفَاقِ وَفِيٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ حَتَّىٰ يَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُمۡ أَنَّهُ ٱلۡحَقُّۗ أَوَلَمۡ يَكۡفِ بِرَبِّكَ أَنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ شَهِيدٌ ٥٣
We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth.1 But is it not sufficient concerning your Lord that He is, over all things, a Witness?2
41:54
أَلَآ إِنَّهُمۡ فِي مِرۡيَةٖ مِّن لِّقَآءِ رَبِّهِمۡۗ أَلَآ إِنَّهُۥ بِكُلِّ شَيۡءٖ مُّحِيطُۢ ٥٤
Unquestionably, they are in doubt about the meeting with their Lord. Unquestionably He is, of all things, encompassing.
