Commentary on 56:81
قوله تعالى : أفبهذا الحديث يعني القرآن أنتم مدهنون أي : مكذبون ؛ قاله ابن عباس وعطاء وغيرهما . والمدهن : الذي ظاهره خلاف باطنه ، كأنه شبه بالدهن في سهولة ظاهره . وقال مقاتل بن سليمان وقتادة : مدهنون كافرون ، نظيره : ودوا لو تدهن فيدهنون . وقال المؤرج : المدهن : المنافق أو الكافر الذي يلين جانبه ليخفي كفره ، والإدهان والمداهنة : التكذيب والكفر والنفاق ، وأصله اللين ، وأن يسر خلاف ما يظهر ، وقال أبو قيس بن الأسلت :الحزم والقوة خير من الإدهان والفهة والهاعوأدهن وداهن واحد . وقال قوم : داهنت بمعنى واريت وأدهنت بمعنى غششت . وقال الضحاك : مدهنون معرضون . مجاهد : ممالئون الكفار على الكفر به . ابن كيسان : المدهن : الذي لا يعقل ما حق الله عليه ، ويدفعه بالعلل . وقال بعض اللغويين : مدهنون تاركون للجزم في قبول القرآن .

لَّا يَمَسُّهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلۡمُطَهَّرُونَ ٧٩
None touch it except the purified [i.e., the angels].

تَنزِيلٞ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٨٠
[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

56:82
وَتَجۡعَلُونَ رِزۡقَكُمۡ أَنَّكُمۡ تُكَذِّبُونَ ٨٢
And make [the thanks for] your provision that you deny [the Provider]?
56:83
فَلَوۡلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلۡحُلۡقُومَ ٨٣
Then why, when it [i.e., the soul at death] reaches the throat
56:84
وَأَنتُمۡ حِينَئِذٖ تَنظُرُونَ ٨٤
And you are at that time looking on -
56:85
وَنَحۡنُ أَقۡرَبُ إِلَيۡهِ مِنكُمۡ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُبۡصِرُونَ ٨٥
And We [i.e., Our angels] are nearer to him than you, but you do not see -
56:86
فَلَوۡلَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ غَيۡرَ مَدِينِينَ ٨٦
Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed,
56:87
تَرۡجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ ٨٧
Bring it back,1 if you should be truthful?

Then [for him is] rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure.

And if he was of the companions of the right,

فَسَلَٰمٞ لَّكَ مِنۡ أَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ ٩١
Then [the angels will say], "Peace for you; [you are] from the companions of the right."
56:92
وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ ٩٢
