The Commander of the faithful, 'Ali bin Abi Talib may Allah be pleased with him, ascended the Minbar in Kufah and declared, "Any Ayah in the Book of Allah the Exalted and any Sunnah from Allah's Messenger you ask me about today, I will explain them." Ibn Al-Kawwa stood up and said, "O Leader of the faithful! What is the meaning of Allah's statement, (By the scattering Dhariyat)," and 'Ali said, "The wind." The man asked, "(And the laden Hamilat)?" 'Ali said, "The clouds." The man again asked, "(And the steady Jariyat)?" 'Ali said, "The ships." The man asked, "(And the distributors of command)?" 'Ali said, it refers to "The angels." Some scholars said that Al-Jariyat Yusra refers to the stars that float in their orbits with ease. This would mean that the things mentioned were ascendant in their order, beginning with the lower, then mentioning the higher one after that, etc. The winds bring the clouds, the stars are above them and the angels who distribute by Allah's order are above that, and they descend with Allah's legislative orders and the decrees He determines. These Ayat contain a vow from Allah that Resurrection shall come to pass. Allah's statement, (Verily, that which you are promised is surely true.), it is a truthful promise, (And verily, Ad-Din) the Recompense, (will occur), it will surely come to pass. Then Allah the Exalted said, (By the heaven full of Hubuk,) Ibn 'Abbas said; "Full of beauty, grace, magnificence and perfection." Mujahid, 'Ikrimah, Sa'id bin Jubayr, Abu Malik, Abu Salih, As-Suddi, Qatadah, 'Atiyah Al-'Awfi, Ar-Rabi' bin Anas and others said similarly. Ad-Dahhak, Al-Minhal bin 'Amr and others said, "The meandering of the water, sand and plants when the wind passes over them; carving paths out of them, that is the Hubuk." All of these sayings return to the same meaning, that of beauty and complexity. The sky is high above us, clear yet thick, firmly structured, spacious and graceful, beautified with stars such as the sun and orbiting planets such as the moon and the planets of the solar system.

The Differing Claims of the Idolators
Allah the Exalted said, (Certainly, you have different ideas.) 'O idolators, who deny the Messengers, you hold different and confused ideas.' Qatadah said, "You have different ideas about the Qur'an. Some of you say that it is magic, others say it is poetry, while others say it is fake." Allah the Exalted said, (Turned aside therefrom is he who is hinted aside.) meaning, the differing claims and ideas about the Qur'an and the Messenger are only accepted by those who are misguided. In other words, such false statements are only issued by and accepted by those who are misguided and led astray from the truth. Allah says, (Turned aside therefrom), meaning, turned aside from the truth, (is he who is hinted aside), 'He who is misguided is led astray from it.' Hasan Al-Basri said, "The liars who turn away from the Qur'an are turned away from it." As-Suddi said: "He who is led astray is led astray from it." This is what is mentioned in Surah] 'Abasa, [Cursed is man! How ungrateful is he! 'Ali bin Abi Talhah reported from Ibn 'Abbas regarding (Cursed be Al-Kharrasun), "Cursed be the doubters." Mu'adh said similarly, may Allah be pleased with him. During one of his speeches he said, "Destroyed be the doubters." Qatadah said, "Al-Kharrasun are the people of doubt and suspicion." Allah said; (Who are under a cover of Sahun,) Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, and others said; "In disbelief and doubt, they are heedless and playful." Allah said, (They ask: "When will be the Day of Ad-Din?") They utter this statement in denial, stubbornness, doubt and suspicion. Allah the Exalted replied, ((It will be) a Day when they will be Yuftanun in the Fire!) Ibn 'Abbas, Mujahid, Al-Hasan and several others said that Yuftanun means punished. Mujahid said: "Just as gold is forged in the fire." A group of others also including Mujahid, 'Ikrimah, Ibrahim An-Nakha'i, Zayd bin Aslam, and Sufyan Ath-Thawri said, "They will be burnt." (Taste you your trial!), Mujahid said, "Your burning" while others said, "Your punishment." (This is what you used to ask to be hastened!) This will be said admonishing, chastising, humiliating and belittling them. Allah knows best.
