Tafsir Commentary
and they shall not be absent from it they shall not be taken out of it.
وإن الفُجَّار الذين قَصَّروا في حقوق الله وحقوق عباده لفي جحيم، يصيبهم لهبها يوم الجزاء، وما هم عن عذاب جهنم بغائبين لا بخروج ولا بموت.
أي لا يغيبون عن العذاب ساعة واحدة ولا يخفف عنهم من عذابها ولا يجابون إلى ما يسألون من الموت أو الراحة ولو يوما واحدا.
( وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ ) أى : وما هم عن المنار بمبعدين ، بل هم ملازمون لها ملازمة تامة .
وقوله: ( وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَائِبِينَ ) يقول تعالى ذكره: وما هؤلاء الفجار من الجحيم بخارجين أبدا، فغائبين عنها، ولكنهم فيها مخلَّدون ماكثون، وكذلك الأبرار في النعيم، وذلك نحو قوله: وَمَا هُمْ مِنْهَا بِمُخْرَجِينَ .
"وما هم عنها بغائبين".
وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَائِبِينَ (16)وجيء بقوله { وما هم عنها بغائبين } جملة اسمية دون أن يقال : وما يغيبون عنها ، أو وما يفارقونها ، لإفادة الاسمية الثبات سواء في الإثبات أو النفي ، فالثّبات حالة للنسبة الخبرية سواء كانت نسبة إثبات أو نسبة نفي كما في قوله تعالى { وما هم بخارجين من النار } في سورة البقرة ( 167 ) .وزيادة الباء لتأكيد النفي .وتقديم عنها } على متعلقه للاهتمام بالمجرور ، وللرعاية على الفاصلة .
{ وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَائِبِينَ } أي: بل هم ملازمون لها، لا يخرجون منها.
عن الجحيم ,
Literally ‘when they give by measure to others, or weigh out to them’.
وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَائِبِينَ (and they will not [ be able to ] keep away from it...82:16) The inmates of Hell will never be able to get away from it, because the torment will be eternal, as the concluding verse of the Surah asserts: لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِّنَفْسٍ شَيْئًا (A Day when no one [ with his own free will in the Plain of Gathering ] will have power to do anything for another! ). This does not negate intercession, because that will not happen with one's own free will, unless Allah grants permission to someone to intercede on someone's behalf, and then accepts the intercession. And all matters, on that Day, will belong to Allah (alone). [ 19] ' Allah knows best! Al-hamdulillah
The Commentary on
Surah Al-Infitar
Ends here
(And will not) i.e. the disbelievers (be absent thence) whence they enter it.
The Reward of the Righteous &the Sinners Allah informs of what the righteous will receive of delight
They are those who obeyed Allah and did not meet Him with disobedience (sins). Then He mentions that the evildoers will be in Hell and eternal torment. Due to this He says,
يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ الدِّينِ
(Therein they will enter, and taste its burning flame on the Day of Recompense,) meaning, the Day of Reckoning, Recompense, and Judgement.
وَمَا هُمَ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ
(And they will not be absent therefrom.) meaning, they will not be absent for even one hour from the torment. The torment will not be lightened from them, nor will they be granted the death that they will be requesting, or any rest -- not even for a single day. Allah then says,
وَمَآ أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ
(And what will make you know what the Day of Recompense is) This is a magnification of the affair of the Day of Judgement. Then Allah affirms it by saying,
ثُمَّ مَآ أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ
(Again, what will make you know what the Day of Recompense is) Then He explains this by saying,
يَوْمَ لاَ تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِنَفْسٍ شَيْئاً
((It will be) the Day when no person shall have power for another, ) meaning, no one will be able to benefit anyone else, or help him out of that which he will be in, unless Allah gives permission to whomever He wishes and is pleased with. We will mention here a Hadith (where the Prophet said),
«يَا بَنِي هَاشِم، أَنْقِذُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ مِنَ النَّارِ لَا أَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ مِنَ اللهِ شَيْئًا»
(O children of Hashim! Save yourselves from the Fire, for I have no power to cause you any benefit from Allah.) This has been mentioned previously at the end of the Tafsir of Surat Ash-Shu`ara' (see 26:214). Thus, Allah says,
وَالاٌّمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلَّهِ
(and the Decision, that Day, will be with Allah.) "By Allah, the Decision is for Allah today (now), but on that Day no one will try to dispute with Him about it." This is the end of the Tafsir of Surat Al-Infitar. All praise and blessings are due to Allah, and He is the Giver of success and freedom from error.
