Commentary on 56:47
(وَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَإِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ) الإستفهام في الموضعين للإنكار، والإستبعاد وقد تقدم الكلام على هذا في الصافات وفي سورة الرعد.
والمعنى أنهم أنكروا واستبعدوا أن يبعثوا بعد الموت وقد صاروا عظاماً وتراباً، والمراد أنه صار لحمهم وجلودهم تراباً. وصارت عظامهم نخرة بالية والعامل في الظرف ما يدل عليه: مبعوثون، لأن ما بعد الإستفهام لا يعمل فيما قبله، أي أنبعث إذا متنا؟
