His saying, exalted and majestic is He: "For them in it is a sound, and they will not hear therein." "Indeed, those for whom the best reward has preceded from Us, they are far removed from it." "They will not hear its sound while they are in what their souls desire, abiding forever." "The greatest terror will not grieve them, and the angels will meet them. This is your Day which you were promised."

(p-205) The pronoun in His saying, exalted and majestic is He: "For them" refers to those who have understanding among those who were warned. And "the sound" is the sound of the tortured, and it is like the snorting of the donkey and its like, except that it comes from the chest. And His saying: "They will not hear" a group said: Its meaning is that they will not hear good or pleasant words. And another group said: Their punishment is that they will be placed in coffins inside other coffins, so they will be there not hearing anything.

And when Ibn al-Zib'ari objected with the matter of 'Isa son of Maryam and 'Uzair, the verse was revealed: "Indeed, those for whom the best reward has preceded from Us" clarifying that these are not included in the intended meaning because they did not accept that nor call to it. And "the best reward" means the word of mercy and the decree of preference. And "the sound" is the noise, and in general, it is what is perceived by the senses from the movement of the bodies. And this is a description of them after they enter Paradise, because the hadith necessitates that in the standing, Hell will exhale a breath that no prophet or angel will remain except that he will kneel on his knees.

And "the greatest terror" is general for every horror that will be on the Day of Resurrection, so it is as if the Day of Resurrection in its entirety is the greatest terror. And if it is specified by something from that, it must be intended for its greatest horror. A group said regarding that: It is the slaughter of death. And another group said: It is the falling of the layer of Hell upon Hell. And another group said: It is the command for the people of the fire to the fire. And another group said: It is the time of the last blowing of the trumpet.

Qadi Abu Muhammad, may Allah have mercy on him, said: And this and what precedes it from the times is more likely to have terror in it because it is a time for the stoning of assumptions and exposure to incidents. As for the time of the slaughter of death and the falling of the layer of Hell, it is a time in which the people of Paradise have been secured in Paradise. So that is a clear terror that does not affect anyone from the people of Paradise, except for the prophets, unless he means: The things that are with the people of the fire are a greater terror. But if it is a terror for all, then there must be what we said about it being before entering Paradise.

And some people have gone to the view that His saying, exalted and majestic is He: "Indeed, those for whom the best reward has preceded from Us" encompasses every believer. And it has been narrated from Ali ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: 'Uthman is among them.

(p-206) Qadi Abu Muhammad, may Allah have mercy on him, said: And there is no doubt that, while it was revealed in a specific context, it encompasses everyone who is fortunate in the Hereafter.

And His saying, exalted and majestic is He: "And the angels will meet them" means with peace upon them and giving them glad tidings, that is: This is your Day which you were promised regarding reward and bliss.
