* تفسير Tafsir al-Jalalayn


{ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَمَاتُواْ وَهُمْ كُفَّارٌ فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْ أَحَدِهِم مِّلْءُ ٱلأَرْضِ ذَهَباً وَلَوِ ٱفْتَدَىٰ بِهِ أُوْلَـٰئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ وَمَا لَهُمْ مِّن نَّاصِرِينَ }

Surely those who disbelieve and die disbelieving the whole earth full the amount needed to fill it up of gold shall not be accepted from any one of them the fā’ of fa-lan yuqbala ‘it shall not be accepted’ has been included in the predicate of the inna clause because the statement about alladhīna ‘those who disbelieve’ resembles a conditional statement; and as a declaration of the reason for it repentance not being acceptable in the case of one who dies in unbelief if he would ransom himself thereby; for them awaits a painful chastisement alīm is the same as mu’lim ‘painful’ and they shall have no helpers to protect them from it.
