Tafsir Ibn Kathir -> Surah Al-Fajr -> From the Evil that the Servant does regarding Wealth |
Allah said, ﴿بَل لاَّ تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ- (But you treat not the orphans with kindness and generosity!) This contains the command to honor him (the orphan). Abu Dawud recorded from Sahl bin Sa`id that the Messenger of Allah said, «أَنَا وَكَافِلُ الْيَتِيمِ كَهَاتَيْنِ فِي الْجَنَّة» (The guardian of the orphan and I will be like these two in Paradise.) And he put his two fingers together - the middle finger and the index finger. ﴿وَلاَ تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَى طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ-﴾ (And urge not one another on the feeding of the Miskin!) meaning, they do not command that the poor and the needy be treated with kindness, nor do they encourage each other to do so. ﴿وَتَأْكُلُونَ التُّرَاثَ﴾ (And you devour the Turath) meaning, the inheritance. ﴿أَكْلاً لَّمّاً﴾ (devouring with greed.) meaning, however they can get it, whether lawful or forbidden. ﴿وَتُحِبُّونَ الْمَالَ حُبّاً جَمّاً ﴾ (And you love wealth with love Jamma.) meaning, in abundance. This increases some of them in their wickedness. ﴿كَلاَّ إِذَا دُكَّتِ الاٌّرْضُ دَكّاً دَكّاً - وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفّاً صَفّاً - وَجِىءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الإِنسَـنُ وَأَنَّى لَهُ الذِّكْرَى - يَقُولُ يلَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى - فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لاَّ يُعَذِّبُ عَذَابَهُ أَحَدٌ - وَلاَ يُوثِقُ وَثَاقَهُ أَحَدٌ - يأَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ - ارْجِعِى إِلَى رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً - فَادْخُلِى فِى عِبَادِى - وَادْخُلِى جَنَّتِى ﴾ (21. Nay! When the earth is flatened, Dakkan Dakka.) (22. And your Lord comes with the angels in rows.) (23. And Hell will be brought near that Day. On that Day will man remember, but how will that remembrance avail him) (24. He will say: "Alas! Would that I had sent forth for my life!'') (25. So on that Day none will punish as He will punish.) (26. And none will bind as He will bind.) (27. "O tranquil soul!'') (28. "Come back to your Lord, -- well-pleased and well-pleasing!'') (29. "Enter then among My servants,'') (30. "And enter My Paradise!'')
