Commentary
And when they were with this emphasis in denial, as if they said: 'We will not be resurrected at all,' it is connected to His saying: ﴿Indeed, it is﴾ meaning the state that we cannot have other than it ﴿except our worldly life﴾ (p-140) meaning that which is closest to us and that which we are in. Then they explained it by their saying: ﴿We die and we live﴾ meaning that some of us die who are present, and others are created after them ﴿and we are not to be resurrected﴾ after death.
