Commentary
The phrase 'that they come to them' is an alternative to 'the Hour.' The meaning is: Are they waiting for anything except the coming of the Hour? If you say: Does not the phrase 'suddenly' convey the meaning of 'while they are unaware,' so it is sufficient? I say: No, because the meaning of Allah's saying 'while they are unaware' is: They are heedless due to their preoccupation with their worldly affairs, like His saying 'They are taken while they are arguing.' It is possible that they may come to them suddenly while they are aware on that day, which is a reference to the enemy, meaning: On that day, every bond between those who are allied for other than the sake of Allah will be severed, and it will turn into enmity and hatred, except for the bond of those who are friends for the sake of Allah, for it is the enduring bond that grows stronger when they see the reward for loving one another for Allah's sake and the animosity for His sake. It is said: Except for the pious, meaning those who avoid the companionship of the wicked. It is said: This was revealed concerning Abu Jahl and Uqbah ibn Abi Mu'ait. 'O My servants' is a narration of what the pious who love one another for Allah will call out on that day. 'And those who have believed' is in the accusative case as an attribute of 'My servants,' because it is a vocative that is added, meaning: Those who have believed in Our signs and have been Muslims, making their faces sincere to Us, keeping themselves safe for our obedience. It is said: When Allah resurrects the people, everyone will be frightened, and a caller will call out: 'O My servants,' and all people will hope for it, then those who have believed will follow it, while the non-believers will despair of it.
And it has been recited: 'O servants, you will be honored,' meaning you will be made happy, a happiness that shows its effects on your faces, like His saying: 'You will recognize in their faces the brightness of bliss.' And Al-Zajjaj said: You will be honored with an honor that is greatly emphasized. And 'Al-Hibrah' is the emphasis in what is described as beautiful. And 'Al-Kub' is the vessel without a handle, and in it, the pronoun refers to Paradise. It has been recited: 'You desire' and 'it desires you.' This is a limitation of the types of blessings, for they are either desired in the hearts or delightful in the eyes.
'And that' refers to the mentioned Paradise. It is the subject, and 'the Paradise' is the predicate. 'Which you have inherited' is an attribute of Paradise, or Paradise is an attribute of the subject, which is the demonstrative noun. 'Which you have inherited' is the predicate of the subject, or 'which you have inherited' is an attribute, and 'by what you used to do' is the news, and the 'by' relates to an omitted word as in the circumstances that serve as news. In the first case, it relates to 'you have inherited.' It is likened in its permanence for its people to an inheritance that remains for the heirs. And it has been recited: 'You have inherited from it, you eat from it,' meaning: You do not eat except some of it, and its branches remain on their trees, so it is adorned with fruits forever, heavy with them, and you will not see a tree bare of its fruits as in this world. And the Prophet ﷺ said: 'No man in Paradise will take from its fruits except that a similar one will grow in its place.'
