Commentary on 55:39
﴿فيومئذ لا يسأل عن ذنبه إنس ولا جان﴾: الفاء رابطة لجواب إذا، وقيل: جواب إذا محذوف، أي: فإذا انشقت السماء رأيت أمرًا عظيمًا، والفاء عاطفة عليه، ولا داعي لهذا التكلف، و﴿يومئذ﴾ يوم: ظرف زمان متعلق بالفعل المنفي ﴿يسأل﴾، وإذٍ: اسم مبني على السكون المقدر لاشتغال المحل بتنوين العوض في محل جر مضاف إليه، والتنوين عوض عن جملة محذوفة والتقدير: يوم إذ انشقت السماء، ولا نافية، ويسأل فعل مضارع مبني لما لم يسمَّ فاعله، وعن ذنبه جار ومجرور متعلقان بيسأل، وإنس نائب فاعل، ولا جان عطف على إنس، والجان والإنس كل منهما اسم جنس.
