* تفسير Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs


{ وَوُضِعَ ٱلْكِتَابُ فَتَرَى ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ مُشْفِقِينَ مِمَّا فِيهِ وَيَقُولُونَ يٰوَيْلَتَنَا مَالِ هَـٰذَا ٱلْكِتَابِ لاَ يُغَادِرُ صَغِيرَةً وَلاَ كَبِيرَةً إِلاَّ أَحْصَاهَا وَوَجَدُواْ مَا عَمِلُواْ حَاضِراً وَلاَ يَظْلِمُ رَبُّكَ أَحَداً }

(And the Book is placed) on people's right and left hands; the scrolls fell on people's hands like snow flakes, (and thou seest the guilty) the idolaters and the hypocrites (fearful of that which is therein) in the Book, (and they say: What Kind of a book is this that leaveth not a small thing) of our deeds (nor a great thing) it is said that the small thing is a smile and the great thing is laughter (but has counted it) except that it is preserved and written down! (And they find all that they did) of good or evil (confronting them) written down, (and thy Lord wrongeth no one) He does not decrease the good deeds of anyone nor increase the evil deeds of anyone; it is also said that this means: He does not diminish the good deeds of the believer nor leave the evil deeds of the unbeliever.
