82:19 Al-Infitaar (The Cleaving)

{ يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِنَفْسٍ شَيْئًا } ولو كانت لها قريبة [أو حبيبة] مصافية، فكل مشتغل بنفسه لا يطلب الفكاك لغيرها. { وَالْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلَّهِ } فهو الذي يفصل بين العباد، ويأخذ للمظلوم حقه من ظالمه [والله أعلم]

ثم فسره بقوله "يوم لا تملك نفس لنفس شيئا" أي لا يقدر أحد على نفع أحد ولا خلاصه مما هو فيه إلا أن يأذن الله لمن يشاء ويرضي ونذكر ههنا حديث "يا بني هاشم أنقذوا أنفسكم من النار لا أملك لكم من الله شيئا" وقد تقدم في آخر تفسير سورة الشعراء ولهذا قال "والأمر يومئذ لله" كقوله "لمن الملك اليوم لله الواحد القهار" وكقوله "الملك يومئذ الحق للرحمن" وكقوله "مالك يوم الدين قال قتادة "يوم لا تملك نفس لنفس شيئا والأمر يومئذ لله" والأمر والله اليوم لله ولكنه لا ينازعه فيه يومئذ أحد. آخر تفسير سورة الانفطار ولله الحمد والمنة وبه التوفيق والعصمة.

The Reward of the Righteous &the Sinners Allah informs of what the righteous will receive of delight

They are those who obeyed Allah and did not meet Him with disobedience (sins). Then He mentions that the evildoers will be in Hell and eternal torment. Due to this He says,

يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ الدِّينِ

(Therein they will enter, and taste its burning flame on the Day of Recompense,) meaning, the Day of Reckoning, Recompense, and Judgement.

وَمَا هُمَ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ

(And they will not be absent therefrom.) meaning, they will not be absent for even one hour from the torment. The torment will not be lightened from them, nor will they be granted the death that they will be requesting, or any rest -- not even for a single day. Allah then says,

وَمَآ أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ

(And what will make you know what the Day of Recompense is) This is a magnification of the affair of the Day of Judgement. Then Allah affirms it by saying,

ثُمَّ مَآ أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الدِّينِ

(Again, what will make you know what the Day of Recompense is) Then He explains this by saying,

يَوْمَ لاَ تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِنَفْسٍ شَيْئاً

((It will be) the Day when no person shall have power for another, ) meaning, no one will be able to benefit anyone else, or help him out of that which he will be in, unless Allah gives permission to whomever He wishes and is pleased with. We will mention here a Hadith (where the Prophet said),

«يَا بَنِي هَاشِم، أَنْقِذُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ مِنَ النَّارِ لَا أَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ مِنَ اللهِ شَيْئًا»

(O children of Hashim! Save yourselves from the Fire, for I have no power to cause you any benefit from Allah.) This has been mentioned previously at the end of the Tafsir of Surat Ash-Shu`ara' (see 26:214). Thus, Allah says,

وَالاٌّمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلَّهِ

(and the Decision, that Day, will be with Allah.) "By Allah, the Decision is for Allah today (now), but on that Day no one will try to dispute with Him about it." This is the end of the Tafsir of Surat Al-Infitar. All praise and blessings are due to Allah, and He is the Giver of success and freedom from error.

It is a day read yawmu when no soul will be of any avail any use to another soul and the absolute command on that day will be God’s there will be no power of command for anyone other than Him thereat in other words none has been given the power to mediate thereupon in contrast to situations in this world.

وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَائِبِينَ (and they will not [ be able to ] keep away from it...82:16) The inmates of Hell will never be able to get away from it, because the torment will be eternal, as the concluding verse of the Surah asserts: لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِّنَفْسٍ شَيْئًا (A Day when no one [ with his own free will in the Plain of Gathering ] will have power to do anything for another! ). This does not negate intercession, because that will not happen with one's own free will, unless Allah grants permission to someone to intercede on someone's behalf, and then accepts the intercession. And all matters, on that Day, will belong to Allah (alone). [ 19] ' Allah knows best! Al-hamdulillah
