The type of glad tidings in the saying of Allah the Exalted: “So give them the glad tidings of a painful punishment”

Question:
You said, Honorable Shaykh, that the glad tidings are given regarding a forbidden matter, but Allah says, "So give them tidings of a painful punishment." What is the type of glad tidings in this noble verse?

Answer:
The default, the default is that it is for a beloved matter; the default is that it is for a beloved matter, that is the default. It may, however, be used for a disliked matter. Some scholars say this is in the context of mocking the polytheists and disbelievers, or that “give them the glad tidings” means “inform them” with news whose effect appears on their skin, which is the punishment, may Allah protect us from it. Because when you inform a person of a disliked matter, you see that his complexion changes, his complexion and his skin change. So “give them the glad tidings of a painful punishment” means inform them with a terrible news whose effect appears on their skin from fear and distress, may Allah protect us from it, or that it is in the context of mocking the polytheists.
