Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “And He has prepared for the disbelievers a painful punishment”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
He said: “ the Exalted for them a painful one ” His saying: One might say that there is a discord between the conjoined and the conjoined-to, because if there had been harmony between them, the expression would have been “to question the truthful about their truthfulness and prepare for the disbelievers,” but he said: Yes, so how do we speak of it? The author says it is conjoined to [Al-Ahzab 33:7] and the apparent intent is the latter, meaning “and We took from them a solemn covenant” and “He has prepared for the disbelievers.” According to the author’s opinion, there is also a shift in it; from where? From presence to absence. And we can say that it is conjoined to his saying: but it came with the past tense verb to confirm its occurrence and that it is a fixed matter [Al-Ahzab 33:8] And his saying “painful” means “causing pain,” i.e., causing hurt. The form *fa'il* in the meaning of *muf'il* occurs in the Arabic language, even though the more common usage is *fa'il* in the meaning of *fa'il* (active participle), which is very numerous, such as *Sami'* (Hearing), *Basir* (Seeing), and *Aziz* (Mighty); its examples are many. But *fa'il* in the meaning of *muf'il* is rare, and among its instances is this verse: *Alim* in the meaning of *Mu'lim* (causing pain). And the saying of the poet:
“Is it the fragrant flower like the hearing caller who keeps me awake while my companions are asleep?”
So he is the hearing caller, meaning the one who makes one hear. And we stop here to take the benefits from what has preceded.
His saying, the Exalted: “Who do I think”[Al-Ahzab 33:6] May Allah have mercy on you, O my son. We have taken the benefits.
