«سأل سائل» دعا داع «بعذاب واقع».
Yusuf AliThe Unbelievers, the which there is none to ward off
Saheeh InternationalTo the disbelievers; of it there is no preventer
(للكافرين ليس له دافع) هو النضر بن الحارث قال: "" اللهم إن كان هذا هو الحق "" الآية.
Yusuf Ali(A Penalty) from God, Lord of the Ways of Ascent
Saheeh International[It is] from Allah, owner of the ways of ascent
«من الله» متصل بواقع «ذي المعارج» مصاعد الملائكة وهي السماوات.
Yusuf AliThe angels and the spirit ascend unto him in a Day the measure whereof is (as) fifty thousand years
Saheeh InternationalThe angels and the Spirit will ascend to Him during a Day the extent of which is fifty thousand years
«تعرج» بالتاء والياء «الملائكة والروح» جبريل «إليه» إلى مهبط أمره من السماء «في يوم» متعلق بمحذوف، أي يقع العذاب بهم في يوم القيامة «كان مقداره خمسين ألف سنة» بالنسبة إلى الكافر لما يلقى فيه من الشدائد، وأما المؤمن فيكون أخف عليه من صلاة مكتوبة يصليها في الدنيا كما جاء في الحديث.
Yusuf AliTherefore do thou hold Patience,- a Patience of beautiful (contentment)
Saheeh InternationalSo be patient with gracious patience
«فاصبر» وهذا قبل أن يؤمر بالقتال «صبرا جميلا» أي لا جزع فيه.
Yusuf AliThey see the (Day) indeed as a far-off (event)

Yusuf AliAnd no friend will ask after a friend
Saheeh InternationalAnd no friend will ask [anything of] a friend
«ولا يسأل حميم حميما» قريب قريبه لاشتغال كل بحاله.
Yusuf AliThough they will be put in sight of each other,- the sinner's desire will be: Would that he could redeem himself from the Penalty of that Day by (sacrificing) his children
Saheeh InternationalThey will be shown each other. The criminal will wish that he could be ransomed from the punishment of that Day by his children
«يبصرونهم» أي يبصر الأحماء بعضهم بعضا ويتعارفون ولا يتكلمون والجملة مستأنفة «يود المجرم» يتمنى الكافر «لو» بمعنى أن «يفتدي من عذاب يومئذ» بكسر الميم وفتحها «ببنيه».

«ومن في الأرض جميعا ثم ينجيه» ذلك الافتداء عطف على يفتدي.
Yusuf AliBy no means! for it would be the Fire of Hell

Yusuf AliNow what is the matter with the Unbelievers that they rush madly before thee
Saheeh InternationalSo what is [the matter] with those who disbelieve, hastening [from] before you, [O Muhammad]
«فمال الذين كفروا قبلك» نحوك «مهطعين» حال، أي مديمي النظر.
Yusuf AliFrom the right and from the left, in crowds
Saheeh International[To sit] on [your] right and [your] left in separate groups

Yusuf AliThe Day whereon they will issue from their sepulchres in sudden haste as if they were rushing to a goal-post (fixed for them)
Saheeh InternationalThe Day they will emerge from the graves rapidly as if they were, toward an erected idol, hastening
