Commentary

For the judgment of your Lord in granting them respite and what you endure in it of hardship and difficulty, for indeed, you are in Our sight. This means: We see you and protect you. The plural form 'eyes' is used because the pronoun is in the plural form. Do you not see His saying, 'And let it be made under My eyes'? It has also been recited as 'and by Our eyes,' with the merging. When you rise from any place you have stood, and it is said: from your sleep and the retreat of the stars. When the stars retreat at the end of the night. It has also been recited as 'and the retreats,' with the opening, meaning in the aftermath of the stars and their traces when they set. The intended matter is the command to say: 'Glory be to Allah and praise Him' at these times. It has been said that the glorification refers to prayer when he rises from his sleep, and from the night: the prayer of the two evening prayers, and the retreats of the stars: the dawn prayer. From the Messenger of Allah, blessings and peace be upon him: 'Whoever recites Surah At-Tur, it is a right upon Allah to grant him security from His punishment and to bless him in His Paradise.' [Narrated by Al-Thalabi, Ibn Mardawayh, and Al-Wahidi with their chains to Abu ibn Ka'b, may Allah be pleased with him.]
