سَنَفۡرُغُ لَكُمۡ أَيُّهَ ٱلثَّقَلَانِ
We will attend to you, O prominent beings.
Allah states that all the residents of earth will perish and die. The residents of the heavens will die, except whomever Allah wills. Only Allah's Honorable Face will remain, because our Lord, the Exalted, the Blessed, is the Ever Living Who never dies. Qatadah said, "First, Allah mentioned His creatures and then He said that all of this will perish.'' And in the reported supplication: `O You the Ever Living Who sustains all that exists! O You Who created the heavens and the earth without precedence. O You, Who Owns the glory and the honor, none has the right to be worshipped except You. We seek refuge with Your mercy. Grant Us success in all of our matters. Please, do not abandon us to rely on ourselves even for an instant nor on any of Your creation.'' Ash-Sha`bi said, "When you have recited,
(Whatsoever is on it (the earth) will perish.) do not stop, continue reading,
(And the Face of your Lord Dhul-Jalal wal-Ikram will remain forever.)'' This Ayah is similar to Allah's statement,
(Everything will perish save His Face.)(28:88) In this Ayah, Allah describes His Noble Face as being Dhul-Jalal wal-Ikram, indicating that He is Worthy of being revered, and thus, never defied; and obeyed, and thus, never disobeyed,
(And keep yourself patiently with those who call on their Lord morning and afternoon, seeking His Face.)(18:28), And as He said about those giving charity:
(We feed you seeking Allah's Face only.)(76:9) Ibn `Abbas commented on the meaning of Dhul-Jalal wal-Ikram, by saying, "Owner of greatness and pride.'' After Allah stated that all of the inhabitants of the earth will die and end up in the Hereafter when He, Dhul-Jalal wal-Ikram, will judge them by His fair judgment, He said,
(Then which of the blessings of your Lord will you both deny) Allah said,
(Whosoever is in the heavens and on the earth begs of Him. Every day He is (engaged) in some affair.) In this Ayah, Allah affirms that He is Rich, Free of all wants for anyone else and that all creatures stand in need of Him, in all conditions and situations. They all seek His help willingly or unwillingly. Everyday, He is engaged in some affair. Al-A`mash reported from Mujahid, from `Ubayd bin `Umayr,
(Every day He is (engaged) in some affair.) He said, "Of His affairs is that He answers the supplicant, or gives to the one requesting, or removing adversity, or cures the one seeking to be cured.''
(31. We shall attend to you, O Thaqalan!) (32. Then which of the blessings of your Lord will you both deny) (33. O assembly of Jinn and men! If you are able to pass beyond the zones of the heavens and the earth, then pass beyond (them)! But you will never be able to pass them, except with authority (from Allah)!) (34. Then which of the blessings of your Lord will you both deny) (35. There will be sent against you both, Shuwaz of fire and Nuhas, and you will not be able to defend yourselves.) (36. Then which of the blessings of your Lord will you both deny)
فَبِأَىِّ ءَالَآءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ
So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?

فَإِذَا ٱنشَقَّتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتۡ وَرۡدَةً۬ كَٱلدِّهَانِ
And when the heaven is split open and becomes rose-colored like oil –
Ibn Jurayj said that the Ayah,
(We shall attend to you,) means, `We shall judge you,' while Al-Bukhari said that it means, "We shall recompense you. Surely, nothing will busy Allah from attending to anything else.'' This type of speech pattern is common in the Arabic language. For example, one would say, "I will attend to you,'' even when one is not busy with anything else. Allah's saying;
(O you Thaqalan!) refers to the humans and the Jinns, as in the Hadith;
(Everyone will be able to hear it, except the Thaqalayn.) In another narration that explains it, the Prophet said,
(...except mankind and the Jinns.) Allah said,
(Then which of the blessings of your Lord will you both deny), then,
(O assembly of Jinn and men! If you are able to pass beyond the zones of the heavens and the earth, then pass beyond (them)! But you will never be able to pass them, except with authority (from Allah)!) meaning, `you will never be able to escape Allah's orders and decrees, because it encompasses you. You will never be able to avoid or avert His rule and judgment over you, you are surrounded by it wherever you may be.' This is also about the Gathering when the angels, comprising seven lines in every direction, will surround the creatures. None of the creatures will be able to escape on that Day,
(except with authority) meaning, except with the commandment from Allah,
(On that Day man will say: "Where (is the refuge) to flee'' No! There is no refuge! Unto your Lord will be the place of rest that Day.)(75:10-12),
(And those who earned evil deeds, the recompense of an evil deed is the like thereof, and humiliating disgrace will cover them. No defender will they have from Allah. Their faces will be covered as it were with pieces from the darkness of night. They are the dwellers of Fire, they will abide therein forever.)(10:27) Allah's statement,
(There will be sent against you both, Shuwaz of fire and Nuhas, and you will not be able to defend yourselves.) `Ali bin Abi Talhah reported from Ibn `Abbas that Shuwaz is the flame of fire. Abu Salih said, "It is the flame above the fire below the smoke.'' Ad-Dahhak said,
(Shuwaz of fire) "A flood of fire.'' Allah said;
(and Nuhas) `Ali bin Abi Talhah reported from Ibn `Abbas; "The smoke of the fire.'' Similar was reported from Abu Salih, Sa`id bin Jubayr and Abu Sinan. Ibn Jarir said that the Arabs used to call the smoke of the fire, Nuhas and Nihas. But he said that the scholars of Qur'anic recitation said that in this Ayah, the word recited is Nuhas. Mujahid said, "Molten brass poured over their heads.'' Qatadah held the same view. Ad-Dahhak said, "Nuhas is liquid copper.'' The Ayah means, `if you, mankind and the Jinns, try to escape on the Day of Resurrection, then the angels, including those among them who guard Hellfire, will bring you back by directing smoke of fire and molten brass on you.' Allah's statement,
(and you will not be able to defend yourselves. Then which of the blessings of your Lord will you both deny)
(37. Then when the heaven is rent asunder, and it becomes Wardah like Dihan.) (38. Then which of the blessings of your Lord will you both deny) (39. So, on that Day he will not be questioned about his sin, (neither) human nor Jinn.) (40. Then which of the blessings of your Lord will you both deny) (41. The criminals will be known by their marks, and they will be seized by their foreheads and feet.) (42. Then which of the blessings of your Lord will you both deny) (43.

This type of speech pattern is common in the Arabic language. For example, one would say, "I will attend to you,'' even when one is not busy with anything else. Allah's saying;
(O you Thaqalan!) refers to the humans and the Jinns, as in the Hadith;
(Everyone will be able to hear it, except the Thaqalayn.) In another narration that explains it, the Prophet said,
(...except mankind and the Jinns.) Allah said,
(Then which of the blessings of your Lord will you both deny), then,
(O assembly of Jinn and men! If you are able to pass beyond the zones of the heavens and the earth, then pass beyond (them)! But you will never be able to pass them, except with authority (from Allah)!) meaning, `you will never be able to escape Allah's orders and decrees, because it encompasses you. You will never be able to avoid or avert His rule and judgment over you, you are surrounded by it wherever you may be.' This is also about the Gathering when the angels, comprising seven lines in every direction, will surround the creatures. None of the creatures will be able to escape on that Day,
(except with authority) meaning, except with the commandment from Allah,
(On that Day man will say: "Where (is the refuge) to flee'' No! There is no refuge! Unto your Lord will be the place of rest that Day.)(75:10-12),
(And those who earned evil deeds, the recompense of an evil deed is the like thereof, and humiliating disgrace will cover them. No defender will they have from Allah. Their faces will be covered as it were with pieces from the darkness of night. They are the dwellers of Fire, they will abide therein forever.)(10:27) Allah's statement,
(There will be sent against you both, Shuwaz of fire and Nuhas, and you will not be able to defend yourselves.) `Ali bin Abi Talhah reported from Ibn `Abbas that Shuwaz is the flame of fire. Abu Salih said, "It is the flame above the fire below the smoke.'' Ad-Dahhak said,
(Shuwaz of fire) "A flood of fire.'' Allah said;
(and Nuhas) `Ali bin Abi Talhah reported from Ibn `Abbas; "The smoke of the fire.'' Similar was reported from Abu Salih, Sa`id bin Jubayr and Abu Sinan. Ibn Jarir said that the Arabs used to call the smoke of the fire, Nuhas and Nihas. But he said that the scholars of Qur'anic recitation said that in this Ayah, the word recited is Nuhas. Mujahid said, "Molten brass poured over their heads.'' Qatadah held the same view. Ad-Dahhak said, "Nuhas is liquid copper.'' The Ayah means, `if you, mankind and the Jinns, try to escape on the Day of Resurrection, then the angels, including those among them who guard Hellfire, will bring you back by directing smoke of fire and molten brass on you.' Allah's statement,
(and you will not be able to defend yourselves. Then which of the blessings of your Lord will you both deny)
(37. Then when the heaven is rent asunder, and it becomes Wardah like Dihan.) (38. Then which of the blessings of your Lord will you both deny) (39. So, on that Day he will not be questioned about his sin, (neither) human nor Jinn.) (40. Then which of the blessings of your Lord will you both deny) (41. The criminals will be known by their marks, and they will be seized by their foreheads and feet.) (42. Then which of the blessings of your Lord will you both deny) (43. This is the Hell which the criminals denied.) (44. They will go between it and Hamim An!) (45. Then which of the blessings of your Lord will you both deny)
