Commentary on 7:47
القَوْلُ في تَأْوِيلِ قَوْلِهِ تَعالى:
[٤٧] ﴿وإذا صُرِفَتْ أبْصارُهم تِلْقاءَ أصْحابِ النّارِ قالُوا رَبَّنا لا تَجْعَلْنا مَعَ القَوْمِ الظّالِمِينَ﴾
﴿وإذا صُرِفَتْ أبْصارُهُمْ﴾ " أيْ: أبْصارُ أهْلِ الأعْرافِ أوْ أهْلِ الجَنَّةِ.
قالَ الجَشْمِيُّ: وإنَّما قالَ ﴿صُرِفَتْ﴾ " لِأنَّ نَظَرَهم إلى أهْلِ النّارِ نَظَرُ عَداوَةٍ، فَلا يَنْظُرُونَ إلّا أنْ تُصْرَفَ وُجُوهُهم إلَيْهِمْ. فَأمّا أهْلُ الجَنَّةِ فَوُجُوهُهم إلَيْهِمْ سُرُورًا بِهِمْ، فَلا يَحْتاجُ إلى تَكَلُّفٍ، وقِيلَ: لِأنَّهم مَعَ أهْلِ الجَنَّةِ بُعَداءُ مِن أهْلِ النّارِ، فَيَحْتاجُونَ إلى صَرْفِ أبْصارِهِمْ تِلْقاءَ أصْحابِ النّارِ.
ثُمَّ قالَ الجَشْمِيُّ: تَدُلُّ الآيَةُ عَلى وُجُوبِ الِاجْتِنابِ مِنَ الظُّلْمَةِ في الدُّنْيا، كَيْلا يَكُونَ مَعَهم في الآخِرَةِ -انْتَهى.
﴿تِلْقاءَ أصْحابِ النّارِ﴾ " أيْ: إلى جَهَنَّمَ ﴿قالُوا﴾ " مِن شِدَّةِ خَوْفِهِمْ تَعَوُّذًا بِاللَّهِ ﴿رَبَّنا لا تَجْعَلْنا مَعَ القَوْمِ الظّالِمِينَ﴾ أيْ: في النّارِ. وقالَ أبُو السُّعُودِ: في وصْفِهِمْ (p-٢٦٩٤)بِالظُّلْمِ -دُونَ ما هم عَلَيْهِ حِينَئِذٍ مِنَ العَذابِ وسُوءِ الحالِ الَّذِي هو المُوجِبُ لِلدُّعاءِ- إشْعارٌ بِأنَّ المَحْذُورَ عِنْدَهم لَيْسَ نَفْسَ العَذابِ فَقَطْ، بَلْ ما يُوجِبُهُ ويُؤَدِّي إلَيْهِ مِنَ الظُّلْمِ.

7:44
وَنَادَىٰٓ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ أَن قَدۡ وَجَدۡنَا مَا وَعَدَنَا رَبُّنَا حَقّٗا فَهَلۡ وَجَدتُّم مَّا وَعَدَ رَبُّكُمۡ حَقّٗاۖ قَالُواْ نَعَمۡۚ فَأَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنُۢ بَيۡنَهُمۡ أَن لَّعۡنَةُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَى ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٤٤
And the companions of Paradise will call out to the companions of the Fire, "We have already found what our Lord promised us to be true. Have you found what your Lord promised to be true?" They will say, "Yes." Then an announcer will announce among them, "The curse of Allāh shall be upon the wrongdoers
7:45
ٱلَّذِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَبۡغُونَهَا عِوَجٗا وَهُم بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ كَٰفِرُونَ ٤٥
Who averted [people] from the way of Allāh and sought to make it [seem] deviant while they were, concerning the Hereafter, disbelievers."
7:46
وَبَيۡنَهُمَا حِجَابٞۚ وَعَلَى ٱلۡأَعۡرَافِ رِجَالٞ يَعۡرِفُونَ كُلَّۢا بِسِيمَىٰهُمۡۚ وَنَادَوۡاْ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ أَن سَلَٰمٌ عَلَيۡكُمۡۚ لَمۡ يَدۡخُلُوهَا وَهُمۡ يَطۡمَعُونَ ٤٦
And between them will be a partition [i.e., wall], and on [its] elevations are men1 who recognize all2 by their mark. And they call out to the companions of Paradise, "Peace be upon you." They have not [yet] entered it, but they long intensely.
7:47
۞ وَإِذَا صُرِفَتۡ أَبۡصَٰرُهُمۡ تِلۡقَآءَ أَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلنَّارِ قَالُواْ رَبَّنَا لَا تَجۡعَلۡنَا مَعَ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٤٧
And when their eyes are turned toward the companions of the Fire, they say, "Our Lord, do not place us with the wrongdoing people."
7:48
وَنَادَىٰٓ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡأَعۡرَافِ رِجَالٗا يَعۡرِفُونَهُم بِسِيمَىٰهُمۡ قَالُواْ مَآ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنكُمۡ جَمۡعُكُمۡ وَمَا كُنتُمۡ تَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ ٤٨
And the companions of the Elevations will call to men [within Hell] whom they recognize by their mark, saying, "Of no avail to you was your gathering1 and [the fact] that you were arrogant."

7:49
أَهَٰٓؤُلَآءِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَقۡسَمۡتُمۡ لَا يَنَالُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِرَحۡمَةٍۚ ٱدۡخُلُواْ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ لَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَلَآ أَنتُمۡ تَحۡزَنُونَ ٤٩
[Allāh will say], "Are these1 the ones whom you [inhabitants of Hell] swore that Allāh would never offer them mercy? Enter Paradise, [O people of the Elevations]. No fear will there be concerning you, nor will you grieve."
1 translator’s note
- The humble believers who are now in Paradise. Another interpretation regards them as the people on the elevated partition. ↩
7:50
وَنَادَىٰٓ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ أَنۡ أَفِيضُواْ عَلَيۡنَا مِنَ ٱلۡمَآءِ أَوۡ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُۚ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ حَرَّمَهُمَا عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ٥٠
And the companions of the Fire will call to the companions of Paradise, "Pour upon us some water or from whatever Allāh has provided you." They will say, "Indeed, Allāh has forbidden them both to the disbelievers
7:51
ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُواْ دِينَهُمۡ لَهۡوٗا وَلَعِبٗا وَغَرَّتۡهُمُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنۡيَاۚ فَٱلۡيَوۡمَ نَنسَىٰهُمۡ كَمَا نَسُواْ لِقَآءَ يَوۡمِهِمۡ هَٰذَا وَمَا كَانُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا يَجۡحَدُونَ ٥١
Who took their religion as distraction and amusement and whom the worldly life deluded." So today We will forget them just as they forgot the meeting of this Day of theirs and for having rejected Our verses.
