وَ قَالَ And say الَّذِیْنَ those who كَفَرُوْا disbelieve لَنْ Never will نُّؤْمِنَ we believe بِهٰذَا in this الْقُرْاٰنِ Quran وَ لَا and not بِالَّذِیْ in (that) which بَیْنَ (was) before it یَدَیْهِ ؕ (was) before it وَ لَوْ But if تَرٰۤی you (could) see اِذِ when الظّٰلِمُوْنَ the wrongdoers مَوْقُوْفُوْنَ will be made to stand عِنْدَ before رَبِّهِمْ ۖۚ their Lord یَرْجِعُ will throw back بَعْضُهُمْ some of them اِلٰی to بَعْضِ others ِ۟الْقَوْلَ ۚ the word یَقُوْلُ Will say الَّذِیْنَ those who اسْتُضْعِفُوْا were oppressed لِلَّذِیْنَ to those who اسْتَكْبَرُوْا were arrogant لَوْ لَاۤ If not اَنْتُمْ (for) you لَكُنَّا certainly we (would) have been مُؤْمِنِیْنَ believers 34. Saba Page 432 قَالَ Will say الَّذِیْنَ those who اسْتَكْبَرُوْا were arrogant لِلَّذِیْنَ to those اسْتُضْعِفُوْۤا who were oppressed اَنَحْنُ Did we صَدَدْنٰكُمْ avert you عَنِ from الْهُدٰی the guidance بَعْدَ after اِذْ when جَآءَكُمْ it had come to you بَلْ Nay كُنْتُمْ you were مُّجْرِمِیْنَ criminals وَ قَالَ And will say الَّذِیْنَ those who اسْتُضْعِفُوْا were oppressed لِلَّذِیْنَ to those who اسْتَكْبَرُوْا were arrogant بَلْ Nay مَكْرُ (it was) a plot الَّیْلِ (by) night وَ النَّهَارِ and (by) day اِذْ when تَاْمُرُوْنَنَاۤ you were ordering us اَنْ that نَّكْفُرَ we disbelieve بِاللّٰهِ in Allah وَ نَجْعَلَ and we set up لَهٗۤ for Him اَنْدَادًا ؕ equals وَ اَسَرُّوا But they will conceal النَّدَامَةَ the regret لَمَّا when رَاَوُا they see الْعَذَابَ ؕ the punishment وَ جَعَلْنَا And We will put الْاَغْلٰلَ shackles فِیْۤ on اَعْنَاقِ (the) necks الَّذِیْنَ (of) those who كَفَرُوْا ؕ disbelieved هَلْ Will یُجْزَوْنَ they be recompensed اِلَّا except مَا (for) what كَانُوْا they used to یَعْمَلُوْنَ do وَ مَاۤ And not اَرْسَلْنَا We sent فِیْ to قَرْیَةٍ a town مِّنْ any نَّذِیْرٍ warner اِلَّا but قَالَ said مُتْرَفُوْهَاۤ ۙ its wealthy ones اِنَّا Indeed we بِمَاۤ in what اُرْسِلْتُمْ you have been sent بِهٖ with كٰفِرُوْنَ (are) disbelievers وَ قَالُوْا And they say نَحْنُ We اَكْثَرُ (have) more اَمْوَالًا wealth وَّ اَوْلَادًا ۙ and children وَّ مَا and not نَحْنُ we بِمُعَذَّبِیْنَ will be punished قُلْ Say اِنَّ Indeed رَبِّیْ my Lord یَبْسُطُ extends الرِّزْقَ the provision لِمَنْ for whom یَّشَآءُ He wills وَ یَقْدِرُ and restricts وَ لٰكِنَّ but اَكْثَرَ most النَّاسِ [the] people لَا (do) not یَعْلَمُوْنَ۠ know
31. The disbelievers say: “We will never believe in this Quran, nor in what came before it.69” If only your could see the wrongdoers when they are brought before their Lords! 70 They will blame one another. Those who were weak will say to those who were proud: “But for you, we would have been believers.71”
32. And those who were proud will say to those who were weak: “Did we debar you from the guidance after it had come to you? Nay, but you were guilty.”
33. Those who were weak will say to those who were proud: “Nay but it was your scheming night and day, when you commanded us to disbelieve in Allah and set up equals to Him.” And they will be filled with remorse when they will see the punishment; and We will place shackles round the neck of the disbelievers. Will they be requited for anything else but for what they did?72
34. And We did not send to any township a warner, but its wealthy men said: “We do not believe in that with which you have been sent.73”
35. And they said: “We have been given more wealth and children, and we will not be punished.74”
36. Say: “My Lord gives abundantly whom He will, and sparingly (Whom He will), but most men do not know.75”
69. That is: The Torah, Injeel, etc.
70. Today these people boastfully say with great pride that they do not believe in Quran and other divine scriptures, but on the Day of Judgment when they will be hauled up before Allah for accounting for their acts, they will realise the real error, and on that day their heads will hang down in shame and sorrow.
This scene of the Day of Judgment has been presented in words so that they may come to their senses.
71. By the weak people are meant those people who were in the grip, or under the pressure, of the influential people, and they had become their followers. These influential people were their leaders and religious guides. On the Day of Judgment how they will reproach one another and will repudiate one another, a glimpse of that scene is presented here.
72. That is: It may be the general public or the leader, followers or guide, all of them will be liable to be punished because of their denial and disbelief. The common people cannot escape punishment by accusing their leaders and guides of misleading them. Why did they not use the intellect given by Allah and instead followed the big ones blindly, and why did they not pay attention to what the Quran and the Prophet preached?
73. Wealthy people are lost in their material pleasures, for this reason they do not pay heed to the message of the Prophet. When he warns them of the divine punishment, they deny it in their intoxication of materialism and reject the message of Allah.
74. Wealthy people are under the wrong impression that the abundance of wealth and children is the sign of their being the favoured ones of Allah, and feel there is no question of their receiving any punishment?
75. This is the denial of the claim of the wealthy people that abundance of wealth and children is not a sign of Allah’s favour. Abundance of livelihood and provision or scarcity depends on Allah’s will. He gives plenty to whom He pleases and sparingly to whom He pleases. In both the cases, it is a test for the slaves-whether they keep patience or not and offer Him their thanks or not. But many people do not know this fact, and therefore, offer wrong interpretation.
