Commentary on 99:2
قوله تعالى : وأخرجت الأرض أثقالهاقال أبو عبيدة والأخفش : إذا كان الميت في بطن الأرض ، فهو ثقل لها . وإذا كان فوقها ، فهو ثقل عليها . وقال ابن عباس ومجاهد : أثقالها : موتاها ، تخرجهم في النفخة الثانية ، ومنه قيل للجن والإنس : الثقلان . وقالت الخنساء :أبعد ابن عمرو من آل الشر يد حلت به الأرض أثقالهاتقول : لما دفن عمرو صار حلية لأهل القبور ، من شرفه وسؤدده . وذكر بعض أهل العلم قال : كانت العرب تقول : إذا كان الرجل سفاكا للدماء : كان ثقلا على ظهر الأرض ; فلما مات حطت الأرض عن ظهرها ثقلها . وقيل : أثقالها كنوزها ; ومنه الحديث : " تقيء الأرض أفلاذ كبدها أمثال الأسطوان من الذهب والفضة . . . " .

جَزَآؤُهُمۡ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ جَنَّٰتُ عَدۡنٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدٗاۖ رَّضِيَ ٱللَّهُ عَنۡهُمۡ وَرَضُواْ عَنۡهُۚ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَنۡ خَشِيَ رَبَّهُۥ ٨
Their reward with their Lord will be gardens of perpetual residence beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever, Allāh being pleased with them and they with Him. That is for whoever has feared his Lord.
