* تفسير Tafsir al-Jalalayn

{ قُلْ إِن كَانَتْ لَكُمُ ٱلدَّارُ ٱلآخِرَةُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ خَالِصَةً مِّن دُونِ ٱلنَّاسِ فَتَمَنَّوُاْ ٱلْمَوْتَ إِن كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ }

Say to them ‘If the Abode of the Hereafter that is Paradise with God is purely yours that is exclusively and not for other people as you allege then long for death — if you speak truly’ here both conditionals are connected to the verb tamannū ‘long for’ so that the first is dependent upon the second in other words ‘If you speak truly when you claim that it is yours then you will naturally incline to what is yours and since the path to it is death long for it death’.
