Commentary on 85:10
ثم هدد - سبحانه - كفار قريش بسوء المصير ، إذا ما استمروا فى إيذائهم للمؤمنين ، فقال - تعالى - : ( إِنَّ الذين فَتَنُواْ المؤمنين والمؤمنات ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُواْ فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ الحريق ) .وقوله : ( فتنوا ) من الفتن ، بمعنى الاختبار والامتحان . تقول : فتنت الذهب بالنار ، أى : أدخلته فى النار لتعلم جودته من رداءته ، والمراد به هنا : والتحريق بالنار .أى : إن الظالمين الذين عذبوا المؤمنين والمؤمنات ، وأحرقوهم بالنار ثم لم يتوبوا إلى الله - تعالى - من ذنوبهم ، ويرجعوا عن تعذيبهم للمؤمنين والمؤمنات ، فلهم فى الآخرة عذاب جهنم ، بسبب إصرارهم على كفرهم وعدوانهم ، ولهم نار أخرى زائدة على غيرها فى الإِحراق .والمراد بالذين فتنوا المؤمنين والمؤمنات : كفار قريش ، كأبى جهل وأمية ابن خلف . وغيرهما ، فقد عذبوا بلالا ، وعمار بن ياسر ، وأباه وأمه سمية .ويؤيد أن المراد بالذين فتنوا المؤمنين والمؤمنات كفار قريش ، قوله - تعالى - : ( ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُواْ ) لأن هذه الجملة تحريض على التوبة ، وترغيب فيها للكافرين المعاصرين للنبى صلى الله عليه وسلم .ويصح أن يراد بهم جميع من عذبوا المؤمنين والمؤمنات ، ويدخل فيه أصحاب الأخدود ، وكفار قريش دخولا أوليا .وجمع - سبحانه - بين عذاب جهنم لهم ، وبين عذاب الحريق ، لبيان أن العذاب لهم مضاعف ، بسبب طغيانهم وشركهم .

1 translator’s note
- Or "May they be destroyed" or "cursed." The "companions of the trench" (or ditch) were agents of a tyrannical king who refused to allow his people to believe in Allāh. Their evil deed in obedience to their ruler earned for them the curse of Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) . ↩
