Tafsir

Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

Yunus 10:46

Word by word

وَإِمَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعْضَ ٱلَّذِى نَعِدُهُمْ أَوْ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِلَيْنَا مَرْجِعُهُمْ ثُمَّ ٱللَّهُ شَهِيدٌ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ

And whether We show you some of what We promise them, [O Muḥammad], or We take you in death, to Us is their return; then, [either way], Allāh is a witness concerning what they are doing.

Ibn Kathir (Abridged)

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

The Criminals will certainly be avenged -- whether in This World or in the Hereafter

Allah said to His Messenger :وَإِمَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعْضَ الَّذِى نَعِدُهُمْ(Whether We show you some of what We promise them (the torment),) We shall avenge them in your lifetime so your eye will be delighted.أَوْ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِلَيْنَا مَرْجِعُهُمْ(Or We cause you to die -- still unto Us is their return,) Allah will then be the Witness watching over their actions for you. Allah then said,وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَّسُولٌ فَإِذَا جَآءَ رَسُولُهُمْ(And for every Ummah there is a Messenger; when their Messenger comes,) Mujahid said: "This will be on the Day of Resurrection.قُضِىَ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْقِسْطِ(the matter will be judged between them with justice,) is similar to the Ayah:وَأَشْرَقَتِ الاٌّرْضُ بِنُورِ رَبِّهَا(And the earth will shine with the light of its Lord (Allah),) 39:69 So every nation will be presented before Allah in the presence of its Messenger and the Book of its deeds. All good and evil deeds will be witnessed upon them. Their guardian angels will be witnesses too. The nations will be brought forth, one by one.

Our noble Ummah, while it is the last of the nations, is the first one on the Day of Resurrection to be questioned and judged. This was stated by Allah's Messenger ﷺ in a Hadith recorded by both Al-Bukhari and Muslim. Allah's Messenger ﷺ said:«نَحْنُ الْآخِرُونَ السَّابِقُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، الْمَقْضِيُّ لَهُمْ قَبْلَ الْخَلَائِق»(We are the last, the first on the Day of Resurrection. We will be judged before the rest of the creatures.) His Ummah attains the honor of precedence only by the honor of its Messenger , may Allah's peace and blesings be upon him forever, until the Day of Judgement.

Commentary

In verse 45, it was said: يَتَعَارَ‌فُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ (they will recognize each other), that is, when the dead will be raised from their graves, they will recognize each other as if not much time had passed when they met last.

Imam al-Baghawi said: This recognition will be possible during theearly stage. Later, when the horrendous happenings of the Qiyamah, the Day of Doom, will unfold, this ability to recognize each other will stand disabled. According to some other narrations, the ability to recognize each other will, though, still remain, but such will be the awe of the situation that they will be unable to say anything. (Mazhari)

Tafsir Muyassar

Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Saudi Arabia

وإمَّا نرينَّك -أيها الرسول- في حياتك بعض الذي نَعِدُهم من العقاب في الدنيا، أو نتوفينك قبل أن نريك ذلك فيهم، فإلينا وحدنا يرجع أمرهم في الحالتين، ثم الله شهيد على أفعالهم التي كانوا يفعلونها في الدنيا، لا يخفى عليه شيء منها، فيجازيهم بها جزاءهم الذي يستحقونه.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

يقول تعالى مخاطبا لرسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم : ( وإما نرينك بعض الذي نعدهم ) أي : ننتقم منهم في حياتك لتقر عينك منهم ، ( أو نتوفينك فإلينا مرجعهم ) أي : مصيرهم ومتقلبهم ، والله شهيد على أفعالهم بعدك .وقد قال الطبراني : حدثنا عبد الله بن أحمد ، حدثنا عقبة بن مكرم ، حدثنا أبو بكر الحنفي ، حدثنا داود بن الجارود ، عن أبي الطفيل عن حذيفة بن أسيد ، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال : " عرضت علي أمتي البارحة لدى هذه الحجرة ، أولها وآخرها . فقال رجل : يا رسول الله ، عرض عليك من خلق ، فكيف من لم يخلق ؟ فقال : " صوروا لي في الطين ، حتى إني لأعرف بالإنسان منهم من أحدكم بصاحبه " .ورواه عن محمد بن عثمان بن أبي شيبة ، عن عقبة بن مكرم ، عن يونس بن بكير ، عن زياد بن المنذر ، عن أبي الطفيل ، عن حذيفة بن أسيد ، به نحوه .
