Commentary
And when he elaborated in his statement regarding the necessity of the question about not dying; for the Day of Resurrection is a time for the abundance of life; not for its cessation; and for its expansion; not for its contraction; he prevented it by his saying: ﴿Until the Day of the Time﴾; and when his elaboration in the question made clear his ignorance of what the most knowledgeable of creation knows; regarding the inevitability of death for everyone who is not in the abode of eternity; which Allah (glorified and exalted is He) informed about; he said: ﴿The known﴾; and it is the first shock; and what follows it.
