| Previous Ayah 6-10 | Next Ayah 16-20 | Tafsir by Ibn Kathir |
Then Allah says to him, as a threat and a warning to his people and He (Allah) is the Most Great, Whose anger nothing can stand before
وَذَرْنِي وَالْمُكَذِّبِينَ أُولِي النَّعْمَةِ
And leave Me alone to deal with the deniers, those who are in possession of good things of life.
Meaning, 'leave Me to deal with the rich rejectors, who own great wealth.'
For verily, they are more able to obey than others besides them, and they are requested to give the rights (to people) because they have what others do not have.
وَمَهِّلْهُمْ قَلِيلً
And give them respite for a little.
Meaning, for a little while.
This is as Allah says,
نُمَتِّعُهُمْ قَلِيلً ثُمَّ نَضْطَرُّهُمْ إِلَى عَذَابٍ غَلِيظٍ
We let them enjoy for a little, then in the end We shall oblige them to (enter) a great torment. (31:24)
Al-Muzzammil - 73:12
Thus, Allah says
إِنَّ لَدَيْنَا أَنكَالاً
Verily, with Us are Ankal
And these are fetters.
Ibn 'Abbas, 'Ikrimah, Tawus, Muhammad bin Ka'b, 'Abdullah bin Buraydah, Abu 'Imran Al-Jawni, Abu Mijlaz, Ad-Dahhak, Hammad bin Abi Sulayman, Qatadah, As-Suddi, Ibn Al-Mubarak, Ath-Thawri and others have all said this.
وَجَحِيمًا
And Jahim, (This is a blazing fire)
Al-Muzzammil - 73:13
وَطَعَامًا ذَا غُصَّةٍ
And a food that chokes, Ibn 'Abbas said, "This means it will get stuck in the throat and it will not enter or come out."
وَعَذَابًا أَلِيمًا
And a painful torment.
Al-Muzzammil - 73:14
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الاَْرْضُ وَالْجِبَالُ
On the Day when the earth and the mountains will (Tarjuf) shake
Meaning, they will quake.
وَكَانَتِ الْجِبَالُ كَثِيبًا مَّهِيلً
And the mountains will be a heap of sand poured out
Meaning, they will become like hills of sand after they had been firm rocks. Then they will be utterly destroyed and nothing will remain of them. This will occur until the entire earth becomes a flat land and no curvature will be seen in it. Thus, there will be no valleys and no hills. This means that no part of it will be low or elevated.
Al-Muzzammil - 73:15
Your Messenger is like the Messenger to Fir'awn, and You know what happened to Fir'awn
Then addresses the disbelievers of the Quraysh, and along with them the rest of mankind.
إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَيْكُمْ رَسُولاً شَاهِدًا عَلَيْكُمْ
Verily, We have sent to you a Messenger to be a witness over you
Meaning, witnessing your deeds.
كَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ رَسُولاً
As We did send a Messenger to Fir'awn.
