Commentary on 75:6
قوله: ( يَسْأَلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ ) يقول تعالى ذكره: يسأل ابن آدم السائر دائبا في معصية الله قُدُما: متى يوم القيامة؟ تسويفا منه للتوبة.

فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمۡ شَفَٰعَةُ ٱلشَّٰفِعِينَ ٤٨
So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.
74:49
فَمَا لَهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلتَّذۡكِرَةِ مُعۡرِضِينَ ٤٩
Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away
74:50
كَأَنَّهُمۡ حُمُرٞ مُّسۡتَنفِرَةٞ ٥٠
As if they were alarmed donkeys
74:51
فَرَّتۡ مِن قَسۡوَرَةِۭ ٥١
Fleeing from a lion?

بَلۡ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ ٱمۡرِيٕٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ أَن يُؤۡتَىٰ صُحُفٗا مُّنَشَّرَةٗ ٥٢
Rather, every person among them desires that he1 would be given scriptures spread about.2
74:53
كـَلَّاۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ ٥٣

كـَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذۡكِرَةٞ ٥٤
No! Indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a reminder
74:55
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ ٥٥
Then whoever wills will remember it.
74:56
وَمَا يَذۡكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ هُوَ أَهۡلُ ٱلتَّقۡوَىٰ وَأَهۡلُ ٱلۡمَغۡفِرَةِ ٥٦
And they will not remember except that Allāh wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness.
75:1
لَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ ١
I swear by the Day of Resurrection
75:2
وَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلنَّفۡسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ ٢
And I swear by the reproaching soul1 [to the certainty of resurrection].
