Tafsir

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

Ar-Ra'd 13:18

Word by word

لِلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَجَابُوا۟ لِرَبِّهِمُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ ۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لَهُۥ لَوْ أَنَّ لَهُم مَّا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا وَمِثْلَهُۥ مَعَهُۥ لَٱفْتَدَوْا۟ بِهِۦٓ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ سُوٓءُ ٱلْحِسَابِ وَمَأْوَىٰهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ ۖ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمِهَادُ

For those who have responded to their Lord is the best [reward], but those who did not respond to Him - if they had all that is in the earth entirely and the like of it with it, they would [attempt to] ransom themselves thereby. Those will have the worst account, and their refuge is Hell, and wretched is the resting place.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

يخبر تعالى عن مآل السعداء والأشقياء فقال : ( للذين استجابوا لربهم ) أي : أطاعوا الله ورسوله ، وانقادوا لأوامره ، وصدقوا أخباره الماضية والآتية ، فلهم ) الحسنى ) وهو الجزاء الحسن كما قال تعالى مخبرا عن ذي القرنين أنه قال : ( قال أما من ظلم فسوف نعذبه ثم يرد إلى ربه فيعذبه عذابا نكرا وأما من آمن وعمل صالحا فله جزاء الحسنى وسنقول له من أمرنا يسرا ) [ الكهف : 87 ، 88 ] وقال تعالى : ( للذين أحسنوا الحسنى وزيادة ) [ يونس : 26 ] .وقوله : ( والذين لم يستجيبوا له ) أي لم : يطيعوا الله ( لو أن لهم ما في الأرض جميعا ) أي : في الدار الآخرة ، لو أن يمكنهم أن يفتدوا من عذاب الله بملء الأرض ذهبا ومثله معه لافتدوا به ، ولكن لا يتقبل منهم; لأنه تعالى لا يقبل منهم يوم القيامة صرفا ولا عدلا ( أولئك لهم سوء الحساب ) أي : في الدار الآخرة ، أي : يناقشون على النقير والقطمير ، والجليل والحقير ، ومن نوقش الحساب عذب; ولهذا قال : ( ومأواهم جهنم وبئس المهاد )
