Al-Qaari'a
سورة القارعةThis is the Arabic text of the Tafsīr al-Jalālayn of Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī and Jalāl al-Dīn as-Suyūṭī as the OpenITI corpus has it, from the copy of altafsir.com that the COBHUNI project of Hamburg University took: only the commentary on the verses, with no introductions, no edition and no pagination. Nobody has compared it with a printed book or a manuscript, and no scholar has reviewed it. Each passage stands beside the verses it comments on, which are the Qur’ān text of Tanzil, shown as it is there. Beneath each passage stands its English translation by Feras Hamza, as the copy of Tarteel’s Quranic Universal Library has it; nobody has compared that copy with the printed book either.

ٱلْقَارِعَةُ 1
{ القارعة } أي القيامة التي تقرع القلوب بأهوالها.
The Clattering Blow, the Resurrection that will make hearts clatter by its terrors.
مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ 2
{ ما القارعة } تهويل لشأنها، وهما مبتدأ وخبر: خبر القارعة.
What is the Clattering Blow? — [intended] to emphasise its awesomeness (mā’l-qāri‘a: both of these [elements] constitute a subject and a predicate, and [together] the predicate of [the first] al-qāri‘a).
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ 3
{ ومآ أدراك } أعلمك { ما القارعة } زيادة تهويل لها و «ما» الأولى مبتدأ وما بعدها خبره، و «ما» الثانية وخبرها في محل المفعول الثاني لأدري.
And what will show you, [what] will make known to you, what the Clattering Blow is? — additional emphasis of its awesomeness (the first mā is a subject, and what follows it is its predicate; the second mā and its predicate also function together as the second direct object of [the verb] adrā, ‘show’).
يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ 4
{ يوم } ناصبة دل عليه القارعة، أي تقرع { يكون الناس كالفراش المبثوث } كغوغاء الجراد المنتشر يموج بعضهم في بعض للحيرة إلى أن يدعوا للحساب.
The day (yawma: that which renders it accusative is [the verb] indicated by al-qāri‘a, in other words, [by the implied] taqra‘u, ‘it clatters’) mankind will be like scattered moths, like a throng of scattered locusts surging into each other in confusion, until they are summoned to the Reckoning,
وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ 5
{ وتكون الجبال كالعهن المنفوش } كالصوف المندوف في خفة سيرها حتى تستوي مع الأرض.
and the mountains will be like tufts of wool, like carded wool in terms of the lightness with which it floats [in the air] until it comes to settle upon the earth.
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ 6
{ فأما من ثقلت موزينه } بأن رجحت حسناته على سيئاته.
Then as for him whose scales weigh heavy, in that his good deeds outweigh his misdeeds,
فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ 7
{ فهو فى عيشة راضية } في الجنة، أي ذات رضا بأن يرضاها أي مرضية له.
he will enjoy a pleasant life, in Paradise, that is to say, a pleasing one, for he will be pleased with it, that is, it will be pleasing to him;
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ 8
{ وأما من خفت موزينه } بأن رجحت سيئاته على حسناته.
but as for him whose scales weigh light, in that his evil deeds outweigh his good ones,
فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌ 9
{ فأمه } فمسكنه { هاوية }.
his home will be the Abyss.
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ 10
{ ومآ أدراك ما هيه } أي ما هاوية.
And what will show you what it is?, that is to say, what the Abyss is.
نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ 11
هي { نار حامية } شديدة الحرارة وهاء «هيه» للسكت تثبت وصلا ووقفا. وفي قراءة تحذف وصلا.
It is: A scorching fire, of extremely hot temperature (the hā’ of hiya is for [consonantal] quiescence, and is retained when reciting without a [subsequent] pause or with; some omit it when reciting without a pause).
