Tafsir

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

Al-Kahf 18:48

Word by word

وَعُرِضُوا۟ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ صَفًّا لَّقَدْ جِئْتُمُونَا كَمَا خَلَقْنَـٰكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍۭ ۚ بَلْ زَعَمْتُمْ أَلَّن نَّجْعَلَ لَكُم مَّوْعِدًا

And they will be presented before your Lord in rows, [and He will say], "You have certainly come to Us just as We created you the first time. But you claimed that We would never make for you an appointment."

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

وقوله : ( وعرضوا على ربك صفا ) يحتمل أن يكون المراد : أن جميع الخلائق يقومون بين يدي الله صفا واحدا ، كما قال تعالى : ( يوم يقوم الروح والملائكة صفا لا يتكلمون إلا من أذن له الرحمن وقال صوابا ) [ النبإ : 38 ] ويحتمل أنهم يقومون صفوفا صفوفا ، كما قال : ( وجاء ربك والملك صفا صفا ) [ الفجر : 22 ]وقوله : ( لقد جئتمونا كما خلقناكم أول مرة ) هذا تقريع للمنكرين للمعاد ، وتوبيخ لهم على رءوس الأشهاد ؛ ولهذا قال مخاطبا لهم : ( بل زعمتم ألن نجعل لكم موعدا ) أي : ما كان ظنكم أن هذا واقع بكم ، ولا أن هذا كائن .
