Commentary on 70:10
قَوْلُهُ تَعالى: ﴿وَلا يَسْألُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمًا﴾
الحَمِيمُ: القَرِيبُ والصَّدِيقُ والوَلِيُّ المُوالِي، كَما في قَوْلِهِ تَعالى: ﴿ادْفَعْ بِالَّتِي هي أحْسَنُ فَإذا الَّذِي بَيْنَكَ وبَيْنَهُ عَداوَةٌ كَأنَّهُ ولِيٌّ حَمِيمٌ﴾ [فصلت: ٣٤] .
وَفِي هَذِهِ الآيَةِ الكَرِيمَةِ: أنَّهُ في يَوْمِ القِيامَةِ لا يَسْألُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمًا، مَعَ أنَّهم يُبَصَّرُونَهم بِأبْصارِهِمْ. وقَدْ بَيَّنَ تَعالى مُوجِبَ ذَلِكَ وهو اشْتِغالُ كُلِّ إنْسانٍ بِنَفْسِهِ، كَما في قَوْلِهِ تَعالى: (p-٢٦٨)﴿لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِنهم يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ﴾ [عبس: ٣٧]، وكُلٌّ يَفِرُّ مِنَ الآخَرِ يَقُولُ: نَفْسِي نَفْسِي، كَما في قَوْلِهِ تَعالى: ﴿يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ المَرْءُ مِن أخِيهِ﴾ ﴿وَأُمِّهِ وأبِيهِ﴾ ﴿وَصاحِبَتِهِ وبَنِيهِ﴾ ﴿لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِنهم يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ﴾ [عبس: ٣٤ - ٣٧] .
وَقَدْ جاءَ ما هو أعْظَمُ مِن ذَلِكَ في حَدِيثِ الشَّفاعَةِ؛ كُلُّ نَبِيٍّ يَقُولُ: نَفْسِي نَفْسِي، وجاءَ قَوْلُهُ تَعالى: ﴿يَوْمَ تَرَوْنَها تَذْهَلُ كُلُّ مُرْضِعَةٍ عَمّا أرْضَعَتْ﴾ [الحج: ٢]، ولَيْسَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مِن فَزَعٍ إلّا المُؤْمِنُونَ: ﴿وَهم مِن فَزَعٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ آمِنُونَ﴾ [النمل: ٨٩]، جَعَلَنا اللَّهُ تَعالى مِنهم. آمِينَ.

69:35
فَلَيۡسَ لَهُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ هَٰهُنَا حَمِيمٞ ٣٥
So there is not for him here this Day any devoted friend
69:36
وَلَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنۡ غِسۡلِينٖ ٣٦
Nor any food except from the discharge of wounds;
69:37
لَّا يَأۡكُلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلۡخَٰطِـُٔونَ ٣٧
None will eat it except the sinners.
69:38
فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِمَا تُبۡصِرُونَ ٣٨
So I swear by what you see
69:39
وَمَا لَا تُبۡصِرُونَ ٣٩
And what you do not see
69:40
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلُ رَسُولٖ كَرِيمٖ ٤٠
[That] indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is the word of a noble Messenger.
69:41
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوۡلِ شَاعِرٖۚ قَلِيلٗا مَّا تُؤۡمِنُونَ ٤١
And it is not the word of a poet; little do you believe.
69:42
وَلَا بِقَوۡلِ كَاهِنٖۚ قَلِيلٗا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ ٤٢
Nor the word of a soothsayer; little do you remember.
69:43
تَنزِيلٞ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٤٣
[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.
69:44
وَلَوۡ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيۡنَا بَعۡضَ ٱلۡأَقَاوِيلِ ٤٤
And if he [i.e., Muḥammad] had made up about Us some [false] sayings,
69:45
لَأَخَذۡنَا مِنۡهُ بِٱلۡيَمِينِ ٤٥
We would have seized him by the right hand;1
1 translator’s note

69:46
ثُمَّ لَقَطَعۡنَا مِنۡهُ ٱلۡوَتِينَ ٤٦
Then We would have cut from him the aorta.1

69:47
فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنۡ أَحَدٍ عَنۡهُ حَٰجِزِينَ ٤٧
And there is no one of you who could prevent [Us] from him.
69:48
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَذۡكِرَةٞ لِّلۡمُتَّقِينَ ٤٨
And indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a reminder for the righteous.
69:49
وَإِنَّا لَنَعۡلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُّكَذِّبِينَ ٤٩
And indeed, We know that among you are deniers.
69:50
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَسۡرَةٌ عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ٥٠
And indeed, it will be [a cause of] regret upon the disbelievers.
69:51
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَقُّ ٱلۡيَقِينِ ٥١
And indeed, it is the truth of certainty.
69:52
فَسَبِّحۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ ٥٢
So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
