السُّجُودُ لِلَّهِ وَتَوْحِيدُهُ وَعِبَادَتُهُ وَهُمْ سَالِمُونَ لَا عِلَّةَ فِيهِمْ، فَيَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ وَيَأْبَوْنَ، فَلَا تَسْأَلْ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنْ حَالِهِمْ وَسُوءِ مَآلِهِمْ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ سَخِطَ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَحَقَّتْ عَلَيْهِمْ كَلِمَةُ الْعَذَابِ وَتَقَطَّعَتْ أَسْبَابُهُمْ، وَلَمْ تَنْفَعْهُمُ النَّدَامَةُ وَلَا الِاعْتِذَارُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، فَفِي هَذَا مَا يُزْعِجُ الْقُلُوبَ عَنِ الْمُقَامِ عَلَى الْمَعَاصِي، وَيُوجِبُ التَّدَارُكَ مُدَّةَ الْإِمْكَانِ.

They are called to prostrate to Allah, affirm His oneness, and worship Him while they are healthy and sound, yet they act arrogantly and refuse. Do not ask about their state or their wretched end on that day. Allah is angry with them, the sentence of punishment has been passed, their ties are severed, and neither regret nor apology will avail them on the Day of Resurrection. This should stir hearts to abandon sin and prompt them to make amends while there is still time.

وَلَهَذَا قَالَ تَعَالَى: {فَذَرْنِي وَمَنْ يُكَذِّبُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُمْ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ * وَأُمْلِي لَهُمْ إِنَّ كَيْدِي مَتِينٌ * أَمْ تَسْأَلُهُمْ أَجْرًا فَهُمْ مِنْ مَغْرَمٍ مُثْقَلُونَ * أَمْ عِنْدَهُمُ الْغَيْبُ فَهُمْ يَكْتُبُونَ * فَاصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تَكُنْ كَصَاحِبِ الْحُوتِ إِذْ نَادَى وَهُوَ مَكْظُومٌ * لَوْلَا أَنْ تَدَارَكَهُ نِعْمَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّهِ لَنُبِذَ بِالْعَرَاءِ وَهُوَ مَذْمُومٌ * فَاجْتَبَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَجَعَلَهُ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ * وَإِنْ يَكَادُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَيُزْلِقُونَكَ بِأَبْصَارِهِمْ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا الذِّكْرَ وَيَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُ لَمَجْنُونٌ * وَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِلْعَالَمِينَ}.

The Almighty says: {Leave Me alone with those who deny this message. We will lead them on, step by step, from where they do not perceive. I grant them respite, for My plan is firm. Do you ask them for a reward, so that they are burdened by debt? Do they possess knowledge of the unseen, and are they recording it? Be patient, then, for the decree of your Lord, and do not be like the man of the fish, who called out in his distress. Had a favor from his Lord not reached him, he would have been cast onto the barren shore, disgraced. But his Lord chose him and made him one of the righteous. Those who disbelieve almost strike you down with their eyes when they hear the message, and they say, 'He is surely mad.' Yet it is nothing but a reminder to all the worlds.}

أَيْ: دَعْنِي وَالْمُكَذِّبِينَ بِالْقُرْآنِ الْعَظِيمِ فَإِنَّ عَلَيَّ جَزَاءَهُمْ، وَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلْ لَهُمْ، فَـ {سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُمْ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ} فَنَمُدُّهُمْ بِالْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَوْلَادِ، وَنَمُدُّهُمْ فِي الْأَرْزَاقِ وَالْأَعْمَالِ، لِيَغْتَرُّوا وَيَسْتَمِرُّوا عَلَى مَا يَضُرُّهُمْ، فَإِنَّ هَذَا مِنْ كَيْدِ اللَّهِ لَهُمْ، وَكَيْدُ اللَّهِ لِأَعْدَائِهِ، مَتِينٌ قَوِيٌّ يَبْلُغُ مِنْ ضَرَرِهِمْ وَعَذَابِهِمْ فَوْقَ كُلِّ مَبْلَغٍ.

This means: Leave Me to deal with those who deny the Great Quran, for it is My task to recompense them. Do not be impatient for their punishment. We will lead them on from where they do not know, granting them wealth, children, and provisions so they become deluded and persist in their harmful ways. This is part of Allah's plan for them; His plan against His enemies is firm and powerful, bringing upon them a degree of harm and punishment that surpasses all limits.
