Tafsir Commentary

laughing joyous happy — these are the believers.
There will be faces that day shining, laughing, joyous. As for the final end of the man who keeps this world and lets go of the religion, it will be as He says:

وجوه أهل النعيم في ذلك اليوم مستنيرة، مسرورة فرحة، ووجوه أهل الجحيم مظلمة مسودَّة، تغشاها ذلَّة. أولئك الموصوفون بهذا الوصف هم الذين كفروا بنعم الله وكذَّبوا بآياته، وتجرؤوا على محارمه بالفجور والطغيان.
أي مسرورة فرحة من السرور في قلوبهم قد ظهر البشر على وجوههم وهؤلاء هم أهل الجنة.
ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ ) أى : وجوه كثيرة فى هذا اليوم تكون مضيئة مشرقة ، يعلوها السرور ، والاستبشار والانشراح ، لما تراه من حسن استقبال الملائكة لهم .وقوله : ( وُجُوهٌ ) مبتدأ وإن كان نكرة ، إلا أنه صح الابتداء به لكونه فى حيز التنويع و ( مُّسْفِرَةٌ ) خبره ، وقوله ( يَوْمَئِذٍ ) متعلق به ، والإِسفار : النور والضياء .والمراد أن هذه الوجوه متهللة فرحا ، وعليها أثر النعيم .
(ضَاحِكَةٌ) يقول: ضاحكة من السرور بما أعطاها الله من النعيم والكرامة (مُسْتَبْشِرَةٌ) لما ترجو من الزيادة .وبنحو الذي قلنا في معنى قوله: ( مُسْفِرَةٌ ) قال أهل التأويل.* ذكر من قال ذلك:حدثني عليّ، قال: ثنا أبو صالح، قال: ثني معاوية، عن عليّ، عن ابن عباس، قوله ( مُسْفِرَةٌ ) يقول: مشرقة.حدثني يونس، قال: أخبرنا ابن وهب، قال: قال ابن زيد في قوله: ( وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُسْفِرَةٌ * ضَاحِكَةٌ مُسْتَبْشِرَةٌ ) قال: هؤلاء أهل الجنة.
"ضاحكة"، بالسرور "مستبشرة"، فرحة بما نالت من كرامة الله عز وجل.
ضَاحِكَةٌ مُسْتَبْشِرَةٌ (39) و { ضاحكة } أي كناية عن السرور .و { مستبشرة } معناه فَرِحة ، والسين والتاء فيه للمبالغة مثل : استجاب ، ويقال : بَشَر ، أي فرِح وسُرَّ ، قال تعالى : { قال يا بشراي هذا غلام } [ يوسف : 19 ] أي يا فرحتي .وإسناد الضحك والاستبشار إلى الوجوه مجاز عقلي لأن الوجوه محلّ ظهور الضحك والاستبشار ، فهو من إسناد الفعل إلى مكانه ، ولك أن تجعل الوجوه كناية عن الذوات كقوله تعالى : { ويبقى وجه ربك } [ الرحمن : 27 ] .
{ ضَاحِكَةٌ مُسْتَبْشِرَةٌ}
ضاحكة أي مسرورة فرحة . مستبشرة : أي بما آتاها الله من الكرامة . وقال عطاء الخراساني : مسفرة من طول ما اغبرت في سبيل الله جل ثناؤه . ذكره أبو نعيم . الضحاك : من آثار الوضوء . ابن عباس : من قيام الليل ; لما روي في الحديث : من كثرت صلاته بالليل حسن وجهه بالنهار يقال : أسفر الصبح إذا أضاء .
Rejection of truth and being arrogant about it are the worst crimes. Arrogant people will have absolutely no personal worth in the Hereafter, while those who accept the Truth and bow down before it are the ones who will carry weight in the Hereafter. The honour and successes of the Hereafter will be theirs.
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ‌ الْمَرْ‌ءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ (the Day when one will flee from his brother...80:34). This depicts the scene when all the people will have gathered in the Plain of Gathering. Each person will be worried about himself, and the situation will be so horrifying and tense that it will make people heedless of anything around them. In the world, there are relationships between people that make one willing to lay down his life for the other, but on the Day of Resurrection there will be such horror and chaos that they will be unable to take care of anyone. In fact, even if one sees the other in front of him, he will turn away from him. They will try to flee from their brothers, from their mothers and fathers, from their spouses and their children. They will not be able to help any of them in the Hereafter, despite the natural attachment they had with them in the world. Normally, one is more anxious in this world about his parents than about his brothers, and he is more anxious about his wife and children than about his parents. Keeping this in view, the relationships, in the present verse, are arranged from lower order to higher order. The Chapter ends on a note of warning to disbelievers that if they reject the Qur’ anic message and persist in opposition to the Holy Prophet ﷺ they will have to face a day of reckoning when misery, shame and ignominy will be their lot. The righteous believers, however, will reside in Gardens of Bliss, their faces beaming with joy and happiness.
(Laughing) pleased with Allah's bestowal of honour upon them, (rejoicing at good news) happy with Allah's reward;
The Day of Judgement and the fleeing of the People from Their Relatives during it Ibn `Abbas said, "As-Sakhkhah is one of the names of the Day of Judgement that Allah has magnified and warned His servants of." Ibn Jarir said, "Perhaps it is a name for the blowing into Trumpet." Al-Baghawi said, "As-Sakhkhah means the thunderous shout of the Day of Judgement. It has been called this because it will deafen the ears. This means that it pierces the hearing to such an extent that it almost deafens the ears." يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ - وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ - وَصَـحِبَتِهُ وَبَنِيهِ (That Day shall a man flee from his brother. And from his mother and his father. And from his wife and his children.) meaning, he will see them and then flee from them, and seek to get away from them because horror will be so great and the matter will be so weighty. There is an authentic Hadith related concerning the intercession that states that every one of the great Messengers of firm resolve will be requested to intercede with Allah on behalf of the creation, but each of them will say, "O myself! O myself! Today I will not ask You (O Allah) concerning anyone but myself." Even `Isa bin Maryam will say, "I will not ask Him (Allah) concerning anyone but myself today. I will not even ask Maryam, the woman who gave birth to me." Thus, Allah says, يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ - وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ - وَصَـحِبَتِهُ وَبَنِيهِ (That Day shall a man flee from his brother, and from his mother and his father, and from his wife and his children.) Qatadah said, "The most beloved and then the next most beloved, and the closest of kin and then the next closest of kin -- due to the terror of that Day." Allah said, لِكُلِّ امْرِىءٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ (Every man that Day will have enough to make him careless of others.) meaning, he will be preoccupied in his business and distracted from the affairs of others. Ibn Abi Hatim recorded from Ibn `Abbas that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, «تُحْشَرُونَ حُفَاةً عُرَاةً مُشَاةً غُرْلًا» (You will all be gathered barefoot, naked, walking and uncircumcised.) So his wife said, "O Messenger of Allah! Will we look at or see each other's nakedness" The Prophet replied, «لِكُلِّ امْرِىءٍ مِنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ أو قال: مَا أَشْغَلَهُ عَنِ النَّظَر» (Every man among them on that Day will have enough (worries) to make him careless of others) -- or he said: (he will be too busy to look.) Ibn `Abbas narrated that the Prophet said, «تُحْشَرُونَ حُفَاةً عُرَاةً غُرْلًا» (You will all be gathered barefoot, naked and uncircumcised.) So a woman said, "Will we see or look at each others nakedness" He replied, «يَا فُلَانَةُ، لِكُلِّ امْرِىءٍ مِنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيه» (O so-and-so woman! Every man among them on that Day will have enough (worries) to make him careless of others.) At-Tirmidhi said, "This Hadith is Hasan Sahih." The Faces of the People of Paradise and the People of the Fire on the Day of Judgement Allah says; وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ - ضَـحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ (Some faces that Day will be bright (Musfirah), laughing, rejoicing at good news.) meaning, the people will be divided into two parties. There will be faces that are Musfirah, which means bright. ضَـحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ (Laughing, rejoicing at good news.) meaning, happy and pleased due to the joy that will be in their hearts. The good news will be apparent on their faces. These will be the people of Paradise. وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ - تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ (And other faces that Day will be dust-stained. Darkness (Qatarah) will cover them.) meaning, they will be overcome and covered with Qatarah, which is darkness. Ibn `Abbas said, تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ (Darkness (Qatarah) will cover them.) "This means that they (the faces) will be overcome with darkness." Allah said, أُوْلَـئِكَ هُمُ الْكَفَرَةُ الْفَجَرَةُ (Such will be the disbelieving, the wicked evildoers.) meaning, they are disbelievers in their hearts, evildoers in their actions. This is as Allah says, وَلاَ يَلِدُواْ إِلاَّ فَاجِراً كَفَّاراً (And they will beget none but wicked disbelievers.) (71:27) This is the end of the Tafsir of Surat `Abasa, and to Allah all praise and thanks are due.
