Allah commands His Messenger to be patient with what the foolish who reject
him among his people say. Allah also commands him to keep away from them in a
nice way. This means in a way that is not blameworthy. Then Allah says to him,
as a threat and a warning to his people - and He (Allah) is the Most Great,
Whose anger nothing can stand before,
[وَذَرْنِى
وَالْمُكَذِّبِينَ أُوْلِى النَّعْمَةِ]
(And leave Me alone to deal with the deniers, those who are in possession of
good things of life.) meaning, `leave Me to deal with the rich rejectors, who
own great wealth.' For verily, they are more able to obey than others besides
them, and they are requested to give the rights (to people) because they have
what others do not have.
[وَمَهِّلْهُمْ
قَلِيلاً]
(And give them respite for a little.) meaning, for a little while. This is as
Allah says,
[نُمَتِّعُهُمْ
قَلِيلاً ثُمَّ نَضْطَرُّهُمْ إِلَى عَذَابٍ غَلِيظٍ ]
(We let them enjoy for a little, then in the end We shall oblige them to
(enter) a great torment.) (31:24) Thus, Allah says,
[إِنَّ لَدَيْنَآ
أَنكَالاً]
(Verily, with Us are Ankal,) and these are fetters. Ibn `Abbas, `Ikrimah,
Tawus, Muhammad bin Ka`b, `Abdullah bin Buraydah, Abu `Imran Al-Jawni, Abu
Mijlaz, Ad-Dahhak, Hammad bin Abi Sulayman, Qatadah, As-Suddi, Ibn Al-Mubarak,
Ath-Thawri and others have all said this.
[وَجَحِيماً]
(and Jahim.) This is a blazing fire.
[وَطَعَاماً ذَا
غُصَّةٍ]
(And a food that chokes,) Ibn `Abbas said, "This means it will get stuck in
the throat and it will not enter or come out.''
[وَعَذَاباً
أَلِيماًيَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الاٌّرْضُ وَالْجِبَالُ]
(and a painful torment. On the Day when the earth and the mountains will
(Tarjuf) shake,) meaning, they will quake.
[وَكَانَتِ
الْجِبَالُ كَثِيباً مَّهِيلاً]
(And the mountains will be a heap of sand poured out.) meaning, they will
become like hills of sand after they had been firm rocks. Then they will be
utterly destroyed and nothing will remain of them. This will occur until the
entire earth becomes a flat land and no curvature will be seen in it. Thus,
there will be no valleys and no hills. This means that no part of it will be low
or elevated.
