Commentary
And it is recited: 'No' (Kalla), with certainty for the name of 'Indeed' (Inna), which is definite. The tanween is a substitute for the added noun. It means: 'Indeed, we are all.' Or 'We are all in it.' If you say: Is it permissible for 'Kalla' to be an adverb that has an effect in it? I say: No, because the adverb does not act in the adverbial phrase that precedes it as it does in the adverbial phrase that comes before. You say: 'Every day you have a garment,' and you do not say: 'Standing in the house is Zaid.' He has judged between the servants, and he decided by admitting the people of Paradise into Paradise and the people of Hell into Hell.
