يَوْمَ لَا ظِلَّ إِلَّا ظِلُّهُ.

On a day when there is no shade except His shade.

قَوْلُهُ: «فَمَنْ رَضِيَ فَلَهُ الرِّضَا وَمَنْ سَخِطَ فَلَهُ السَّخَطُ» (مَنْ) شَرْطِيَّةٌ وَالْجَوَابُ «فَلَهُ الرِّضَا» أَيْ فَلَهُ الرِّضَا مِنَ اللَّهِ، وَإِذَا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْ شَخْصٍ أَرْضَى عَنْهُ جَمِيعًا وَالْمُرَادُ بِالرِّضَا الرِّضَا بِقَضَاءِ اللَّهِ مِنْ حَيْثُ إِنَّهُ قَضَاءُ اللَّهِ وَهَذَا وَاجِبٌ، بِدَلِيلِ قَوْلِهِ: «وَمَنْ سَخِطَ» فَقَابَلَ الرِّضَا بِالسَّخَطِ وَهُوَ عَدَمُ الصَّبْرِ عَلَى مَا يَكُونُ مِنَ الْمَصَائِبِ الْقَدَرِيَّةِ الْكَوْنِيَّةِ.

His saying: 'Whoever is pleased, for him is pleasure, and whoever is displeased, for him is displeasure.' (Man) is a conditional particle, and the response is 'for him is pleasure,' meaning for him is pleasure from Allah. When Allah is pleased with a person, He makes everyone pleased with him. The intended meaning of pleasure here is being pleased with the decree of Allah in the sense that it is the decree of Allah, and this is obligatory, as evidenced by His saying: 'and whoever is displeased,' where He contrasted pleasure with displeasure, which is the lack of patience regarding the predestined, universal calamities that occur.

وَلَمْ يَقُلْ هُنَا فَعَلَيْهِ السَّخَطُ مَعَ أَنَّ مُقْتَضَى السِّيَاقِ أَنْ يَقُولَ فَعَلَيْهِ، كَقَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: «مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلِنَفْسِهِ وَمَنْ أَسَاءَ فَعَلَيْهَا».

He did not say here 'upon him is displeasure,' even though the requirement of the context would be to say 'upon him,' like the saying of the Almighty: 'Whoever does righteousness, it is for his own soul, and whoever does evil, it is against it.'
