Commentary on 65:10
﴿أعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهم عَذابًا شَدِيدًا﴾ تَكْرِيرٌ لِلْوَعِيدِ وبَيانٌ لِما يُوجِبُ التَّقْوى المَأْمُورَ بِها بِقَوْلِهِ تَعالى: ﴿فاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ يا أُولِي الألْبابِ﴾ كَأنَّهُ قِيلَ: أعَدَّ اللَّهُ تَعالى لَهم هَذا العَذابَ فَلْيَكُنْ لَكم ذَلِكَ يا أُولِي الألْبابِ داعِيًا لِتَقْوى اللَّهِ تَعالى وحَذَرِ عِقابِهِ، وقالَ الكَلْبِيُّ: الكَلامُ عَلى التَّقْدِيمِ والتَّأْخِيرِ، والمُرادُ وعَذَّبْناها عَذابًا نُكْرًا في الدُّنْيا بِالجُوعِ والقَحْطِ والسَّيْفِ وسائِرِ المَصائِبِ والبَلايا ﴿فَحاسَبْناها حِسابًا شَدِيدًا﴾ في الآخِرَةِ.
والظّاهِرُ أنَّ قَوْلَهُ تَعالى: ﴿أعَدَّ﴾ إلَخْ عَلَيْهِ تَكْرِيرٌ لِلْوَعِيدِ أيْضًا، وجُوِّزَ أنْ يُرادَ بِالحِسابِ الشَّدِيدِ اسْتِقْصاءُ ذُنُوبِهِمْ وإثْباتُها في صَحائِفِ الحَفَظَةِ، وبِالعَذابِ النُّكْرِ ما أصابَهم عاجِلًا، وتُجْعَلُ جُمْلَةُ ﴿عَتَتْ﴾ إلَخْ صِفَةً لِقَرْيَةٍ، والماضِي في ﴿فَحاسَبْناها﴾ . و”عَذَّبْناها“ عَلى الحَقِيقَةِ، وخَبَرُ ”كَأيِّنْ“ جُمْلَةُ ﴿أعَدَّ اللَّهُ﴾ إلَخْ، أوْ تُجْعَلُ جُمْلَةُ ﴿عَتَتْ﴾ إلَخْ هي الخَبَرُ، وجُمْلَةُ ﴿أعَدَّ اللَّهُ﴾ إلَخْ اسْتِئْنافٌ لِبَيانِ أنَّ عَذابَهم غَيْرُ مُنْحَصِرٍ فِيما ذُكِرَ بَلْ لَهم بَعْدَهُ عَذابٌ شَدِيدٌ، وقَوْلُهُ تَعالى: ”الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا“ مَنصُوبٌ بِإضْمارِ أعْنِي بَيانًا لِلْمُنادى السّابِقِ أوْ نَعْتٌ لَهُ أوْ عَطْفُ بَيانٍ، وفي إبْدالِهِ مِنهُ ضَعْفٌ لِعَدَمِ صِحَّةِ حُلُولِهِ مَحَلَّهُ ﴿قَدْ أنْزَلَ اللَّهُ إلَيْكم ذِكْرًا﴾ هو النَّبِيُّ صَلّى اللَّهُ تَعالى عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّمَ عَبَّرَ بِهِ عَنْهُ لِمُواظَبَتِهِ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلاةُ والسَّلامُ عَلى تِلاوَةِ القُرْآنِ الَّذِي هو ذِكْرٌ، أوْ تَبْلِيغُهُ والتَّذْكِيرُ بِهِ،

65:6
أَسۡكِنُوهُنَّ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ سَكَنتُم مِّن وُجۡدِكُمۡ وَلَا تُضَآرُّوهُنَّ لِتُضَيِّقُواْ عَلَيۡهِنَّۚ وَإِن كُنَّ أُوْلَٰتِ حَمۡلٖ فَأَنفِقُواْ عَلَيۡهِنَّ حَتَّىٰ يَضَعۡنَ حَمۡلَهُنَّۚ فَإِنۡ أَرۡضَعۡنَ لَكُمۡ فَـَٔاتُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ وَأۡتَمِرُواْ بَيۡنَكُم بِمَعۡرُوفٖۖ وَإِن تَعَاسَرۡتُمۡ فَسَتُرۡضِعُ لَهُۥٓ أُخۡرَىٰ ٦
Lodge them1 [in a section] of where you dwell out of your means and do not harm them in order to oppress them.2 And if they should be pregnant, then spend on them until they give birth. And if they breastfeed for you, then give them their payment and confer among yourselves in the acceptable way; but if you are in discord, then there may breastfeed for him [i.e., the father] another woman.3
65:7
لِيُنفِقۡ ذُو سَعَةٖ مِّن سَعَتِهِۦۖ وَمَن قُدِرَ عَلَيۡهِ رِزۡقُهُۥ فَلۡيُنفِقۡ مِمَّآ ءَاتَىٰهُ ٱللَّهُۚ لَا يُكَلِّفُ ٱللَّهُ نَفۡسًا إِلَّا مَآ ءَاتَىٰهَاۚ سَيَجۡعَلُ ٱللَّهُ بَعۡدَ عُسۡرٖ يُسۡرٗا ٧
Let a man of wealth spend from his wealth, and he whose provision is restricted - let him spend from what Allāh has given him. Allāh does not charge a soul except [according to] what He has given it. Allāh will bring about, after hardship, ease [i.e., relief].
65:8
وَكَأَيِّن مِّن قَرۡيَةٍ عَتَتۡ عَنۡ أَمۡرِ رَبِّهَا وَرُسُلِهِۦ فَحَاسَبۡنَٰهَا حِسَابٗا شَدِيدٗا وَعَذَّبۡنَٰهَا عَذَابٗا نُّكۡرٗا ٨
And how many a city was insolent toward the command of its Lord and His messengers, so We took it to severe account and punished it with a terrible punishment.
65:9
فَذَاقَتۡ وَبَالَ أَمۡرِهَا وَكَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ أَمۡرِهَا خُسۡرًا ٩
And it tasted the bad consequence of its affair [i.e., rebellion], and the outcome of its affair was loss.
65:10
أَعَدَّ ٱللَّهُ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٗا شَدِيدٗاۖ فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ يَٰٓأُوْلِي ٱلۡأَلۡبَٰبِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْۚ قَدۡ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَيۡكُمۡ ذِكۡرٗا ١٠
Allāh has prepared for them a severe punishment; so fear Allāh, O you of understanding who have believed. Allāh has sent down to you a message [i.e., the Qur’ān].1

65:11
رَّسُولٗا يَتۡلُواْ عَلَيۡكُمۡ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ مُبَيِّنَٰتٖ لِّيُخۡرِجَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ مِنَ ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِۚ وَمَن يُؤۡمِنۢ بِٱللَّهِ وَيَعۡمَلۡ صَٰلِحٗا يُدۡخِلۡهُ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدٗاۖ قَدۡ أَحۡسَنَ ٱللَّهُ لَهُۥ رِزۡقًا ١١
[He sent] a Messenger [i.e., Muḥammad (ﷺ)] reciting to you the distinct verses of Allāh that He may bring out those who believe and do righteous deeds from darknesses into the light. And whoever believes in Allāh and does righteousness - He will admit him into gardens beneath which rivers flow to abide therein forever. Allāh will have perfected for him a provision.
65:12
ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبۡعَ سَمَٰوَٰتٖ وَمِنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مِثۡلَهُنَّۖ يَتَنَزَّلُ ٱلۡأَمۡرُ بَيۡنَهُنَّ لِتَعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَدۡ أَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيۡءٍ عِلۡمَۢا ١٢
It is Allāh who has created seven heavens and of the earth, the like of them.1 [His] command descends among them so you may know that Allāh is over all things competent and that Allāh has encompassed all things in knowledge.
