Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “Those will have a punishment from a severe torment”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
He said
Those will have a punishmentأولئك لهم عذاب
, regarding this phrase, we say in its grammatical analysis, as we said regarding His saying,
Those will have forgiveness أولئك لهم مغفرة
, it is a subject and its predicate is the sentence following it,
for them will be a painful punishment of foul nature. لهم عذاب من رجز أليم
[Saba 34:5]
, "al-'adhab" means punishment, and "al-rajz" the author says "the bad punishment". Rajz is the bad of everything, so if it is said
a painful punishment of foul nature.عذاب من رجز
[Saba 34:5]
, it means the bad punishment. So their punishment, may Allah protect us from it, is bad; rather, it is the worst of punishments, for the greatest punishment by which humans are punished is the punishment of the Fire, we ask Allah for well-being, so it is the worst of punishments. And his saying "
Painful أليم
meaning painful in the genitive and nominative cases"
means there are two readings; it is a description of Rajz or 'Adhab. That is, the word "Aليم" has two readings:
for them will be a painful punishment of foul nature. أولئك لهم عذاب من رجز أليمٌ
[Saba 34:5]
or
a painful punishment of foul nature.عذاب من رجز أليمٍ
[Saba 34:5]
. As for "Aليم" being a description of 'Adhab, it is frequent in the Qur'an;
for them is a painful punishment ولهم عذاب أليم
[Al-Baqarah 2:10]
Allah often describes the punishment as painful. And as for Rajz, it was a description of it because it is closer to the punishment. Therefore, if you say
for them will be a painful punishment of foul nature. أولئك لهم عذاب من رجز أليمٌ
[Saba 34:5]
, we say it is a description of 'Adhab, and if you say
for them will be a painful punishment of foul nature. أولئك لهم عذاب من رجز أليمٍ
[Saba 34:5]
, we say it is a description of Rajz. And it is permissible to read with this and that; rather, it is recommended for you to read with both readings, and with the three if there are three readings, because the difference in readings is like the difference in attributes in acts of worship. And it has passed us that the best in what came of acts of worship with multiple attributes is that you do this once and that once, so that you obtain all the sunnahs. And so it is with the readings. But beware of reading while you are in doubt about the reading, because it is not permissible for us to read except while we are certain, because this reading is valid. Yes.
