Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (Nay, but you deny the recompense)]
Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Infitar: 9] (Nay) is a particle of prohibition, (but) is for negation,Meaning: despite this creation, provision, and preparation, you deny the recompense,Meaning: the reward,And you are saying: [Al-Mu'minun: 37] so you deny the recompense, meaning: the reward,And perhaps we say: and you also deny the religion itself, so you do not acknowledge the religion with which the messengers came.
And the verse encompasses both of these,Because the rule in exegesis and the science of explaining hadith: that if a text is capable of two meanings that do not contradict each other, it is to be understood as applying to both.
Allah the Exalted said:
No! But you deny the Recompense.
كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِالدِّينِLife is not but our worldly life - we die and live, but we will not be resurrected.
إِنْ هِيَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا الدُّنْيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحْيَا وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَبْعُوثِينَAnd the verse encompasses both of these,Because the rule in exegesis and the science of explaining hadith: that if a text is capable of two meanings that do not contradict each other, it is to be understood as applying to both.
