36:62 Yaseen (Yaseen)

{ أَضَلَّ مِنْكُمْ جِبِلًّا كَثِيرًا } أي: خلقا كثيرا.{ أَفَلَمْ تَكُونُوا تَعْقِلُونَ } أي: فلا كان لكم عقل يأمركم بموالاة ربكم ووليكم الحق، ويزجركم عن اتخاذ أعدى الأعداء لكم وليا، فلو كان لكم عقل صحيح لما فعلتم ذلك.

ولهذا قال عز وجل "ولقد أضل منكم جبلا كثيرا" يقال جبلا بكسر الجيم وتشديد اللام ويقال جبلا بضم الجيم والباء وتخفيف اللام ومنهم من يسكن الباء والمراد بذلك الخلق الكثير قاله مجاهد وقتادة والسدي وسفيان بن عيينة. وقوله تعالى: "أفلم تكونوا تعقلون" أي أفما كان لكم عقل في مخالفة ربكم فيما أمركم به من عبادته وحده لا شريك له وعدو لكم إلى اتباع الشيطان. قال ابن جريج حدثنا كريب حدثنا عبدالرحمن بن محمد المحاربي عن إسماعيل بن رافع عمن حدثه عن محمد بن كعب القرظي عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال "إذا كان يوم القيامة أمر الله تعالى جهنم فيخرج منها عنق ساطع مظلم يقول "ألم أعهد إليكم يا بني آدم أن لا تعبدوا الشيطان إنه لكم عدو مبين وأن اعبدوني هذا صراط مستقيم ولقد أضل منكم جبلا كثيرا أفلم تكونوا تعقلون هذه جهنم التي كنتم توعدون" "وامتازوا اليوم أيها المجرمون" فيتميز الناس ويجثون وهي التي يقول الله عز وجل "وترى كل أمة جاثية كل أمة تدعى إلى كتابها اليوم تجزون ما كنتم تعملون".

The Isolation of the Disbelievers and Their Rebuke on the Day of Resurrection

Allah tells us what the end of the disbelievers will be on the Day of Resurrection, when He commands them to get apart from the believers, i.e., to stand apart from the believers. This is like the Ayat:

وَيَوْمَ نَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ نَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُواْ مَكَانَكُمْ أَنتُمْ وَشُرَكَآؤُكُمْ فَزَيَّلْنَا بَيْنَهُمْ

(And the Day whereon We shall gather them all together, then We shall say to those who did set partners in worship with Us: "Stop at your place! You and your partners." Then We shall separate them) (10:28).

وَيَوْمَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَفَرَّقُونَ

(And on the Day when the Hour will be established -- that Day shall they be separated.) (30:14)

يَوْمَئِذٍ يَصَّدَّعُونَ

(On that Day they shall be divided) (30:43) which means, they will be divided into two separate groups.

احْشُرُواْ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ وَأَزْوَجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُواْ يَعْبُدُونَ - مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ فَاهْدُوهُمْ إِلَى صِرَطِ الْجَحِيمِ

((It will be said to the angels): "Assemble those who did wrong, together with their companions and what they used to worship, instead of Allah, and lead them on to the way of flaming Fire (Hell).") (37:22-23).

أَلَمْ أَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكُمْ يبَنِى ءَادَمَ أَن لاَّ تَعْبُدُواْ الشَّيطَـنَ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ

(Did I not command you, O Children of Adam, that you should not worship Shaytan Verily, he is a plain enemy to you.) This is a rebuke from Allah to the disbelievers among the sons of Adam, those who obey the Shaytan even though he was a plain enemy to them, and they disobeyed Ar-Rahman Who created them and granted them provision. Allah says:

وَأَنِ اعْبُدُونِى هَـذَا صِرَطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ

(And that you should worship Me. That is the straight path.) meaning, `I commanded you in the world to disobey the Shaytan, and I commanded you to worship Me, and this is the straight path, but you followed a different path and you followed the commands of the Shaytan.' Allah says:

وَلَقَدْ أَضَلَّ مِنْكُمْ جِبِلاًّ كَثِيراً

(And indeed he did lead astray a great multitude of you.) meaning, a large number of people. This was the view of Mujahid, Qatadah, As-Suddi and Sufyan bin `Uyaynah.

أَفَلَمْ تَكُونُواْ تَعْقِلُونَ

(Did you not then understand) means, `did you not have any understanding, when you went against the command of your Lord to worship Him alone, with no partner or associate, and you preferred to follow the Shaytan'

For verily he has led astray from among you many a creature jibillan is the plural of jabīl similar in pattern to qadīm ‘old’; a variant reading has jubulan. Did you not use to comprehend? his enmity and his misguidance or the chastisements that befell them and so believe? And it will be said to them in the Hereafter

In verse 60, it was said: أَلَمْ أَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكُمْ يَا بَنِي آدَمَ أَن لَّا تَعْبُدُوا الشَّيْطَانَ (Did I not direct you, 0 children of 'Adam, that you must not worship the Shaitan, (because) he is an open enemy for you,- 36:60). In other words, this would be said on the day of Qiyamah to all human beings, (even to the Jinn). But, the question remains that the disbelievers did not generally worship the Shaitan. They worshipped idols or other things. Therefore, how does this blame fall on them? The answer is that submitting before some entity in the absolute sense and to obey that entity in word and deed in everything and under all conditions is nothing but worship. Since these people always followed Shaitanic teachings, therefore, they were called the worshipers of the Shaitan - as said in Hadith that a person who, driven by love for money or spouse, starts doing everything that would increase wealth or please the spouse, even at the cost of the displeasure of Allah, is an obedient servant of the silver coin and the obedient servant of the spouse (Abd-ud-dirham, Abd-uz-zawjah).
