Commentary on 56:49
قَوْلُهُ تَعالى: ﴿قُلْ إنَّ الأوَّلِينَ والآخِرِينَ﴾ ﴿لَمَجْمُوعُونَ إلى مِيقاتِ يَوْمٍ مَعْلُومٍ﴾ .
لَمّا أنْكَرَ الكُفّارُ بَعْثَهم وآباءَهُمُ الأوَّلِينَ في الآيَةِ المُتَقَدِّمَةِ؛ أمَرَ اللَّهُ نَبِيَّهُ ﷺ أنْ (p-٥٢٦)يُخْبِرَهم خَبَرًا مُؤَكَّدًا بِأنَّ الأوَّلِينَ والآخِرِينَ كُلَّهم مَجْمُوعُونَ يَوْمَ القِيامَةِ لِلْحِسابِ والجَزاءِ بَعْدَ بَعْثِهِمْ.
وَما تَضَمَّنَتْهُ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ الكَرِيمَةُ مِن بَعْثِ الأوَّلِينَ والآخِرِينَ وجَمْعِهِمْ يَوْمَ القِيامَةِ - جاءَ مُوَضَّحًا في آياتٍ كَثِيرَةٍ
• كَقَوْلِهِ: ﴿يَوْمَ يَجْمَعُكم لِيَوْمِ الجَمْعِ ذَلِكَ يَوْمُ التَّغابُنِ﴾ [التغابن: ٩]،
• وقَوْلِهِ تَعالى: ﴿اللَّهُ لا إلَهَ إلّا هو لَيَجْمَعَنَّكم إلى يَوْمِ القِيامَةِ﴾ [النساء: ٨٧]،
• وقَوْلِهِ تَعالى: ﴿رَبَّنا إنَّكَ جامِعُ النّاسِ لِيَوْمٍ لا رَيْبَ فِيهِ﴾ الآيَةَ [آل عمران: ٩]،
• وقَوْلِهِ تَعالى: ﴿ذَلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَجْمُوعٌ لَهُ النّاسُ﴾ [هود: ١٠٣]،
• وقَوْلِهِ تَعالى: ﴿هَذا يَوْمُ الفَصْلِ جَمَعْناكم والأوَّلِينَ﴾ [المرسلات: ٣٨]،
• وقَوْلِهِ تَعالى: ﴿وَحَشَرْناهم فَلَمْ نُغادِرْ مِنهم أحَدًا﴾ [الكهف: ٤٧] .
وَقَدْ قَدَّمْنا هَذا مُوَضَّحًا في سُورَةِ الحِجْرِ في الكَلامِ عَلى قَوْلِهِ تَعالى: ﴿وَحَفِظْناها مِن كُلِّ شَيْطانٍ رَجِيمٍ﴾ [الحجر: ١٧] .
