Al-Infitaar
سورة الإنفطارThis 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.

إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتْ 1
{ إذا السمآء انفطرت } انشقت.
When the heaven is split open, [when it is] rent asunder,
وَإِذَا ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتْ 2
{ وإذا الكواكب انتثرت } انقضت وتساقطت.
and when the stars are dispersed, [when] they expire and begin to fall,
وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ 3
{ وإذا البحار فجرت } فتح بعضها في بعض فصارت بحرا واحدا واختلط العذب بالملح.
and when the seas are burst forth, released one upon the other, forming one mass of water, so that the sweet [water] mixes with the salty;
وَإِذَا ٱلْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ 4
{ وإذا القبور بعثرت } قلب ترابها وبعث موتاها وجواب إذا وما عطف عليها.
and when the tombs are overturned, [when] their earth [above them] is dug up and its dead are raised (the response to idhā, ‘when’, and all that is supplemented thereto is [the following]):
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ 5
5 { علمت نفس } أي كل نفس وقت هذه المذكورات وهو يوم القيامة { ما قدمت } من الأعمال { و } ما { أخرت } منها فلم تعمله.
a soul, every soul, will know, at the time of the [occurrence of the] things mentioned, which is the Day of Resurrection, what it has sent ahead, in the way of deeds, and, what [it has], left behind, of these and did not do.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلْكَرِيمِ 6
{ يأيها الإنسن } الكافر { ما غرك بربك الكريم } حتى عصيته.
O, disbelieving, man! What has deceived you with regard to your generous Lord?, so that you have disobeyed Him,
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ 7
{ الذى خلقك } بعد أن لم تكن { فسوك } جعلك مستوي الخلقة، سالم الأعضاء { فعدلك } بالتخفيف والتشديد، جعلك معتدل الخلق متناسب الأعضاء ليس يد أو رجل أطول من الأخرى.
Who created you, when you were not, then made you upright, in your created form, with sound limbs, then proportioned you (read fa-‘adalak or fa-‘addalak), making you symmetrical in shape, with well-proportioned parts, so that no hand or leg is longer than the other,
فِىٓ أَىِّ صُورَةٍ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ 8
{ فى أى صورة ما } زائدة { شآء ركبك }.
assembling you in whatever (mā is a relative) form He will?
كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ 9
{ كلا } ردع عن الاغترار بكرم الله تعالى { بل تكذبون } أي كفار مكة { بالدين } بالجزاء على الأعمال.
No indeed! — a deterrent against letting oneself be misled by the generosity of God, exalted be He. Rather you, that is, disbelievers of Mecca, deny Judgement, requital for deeds;
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَـٰفِظِينَ 10
{ وإن عليكم لحفظين } من الملائكة لأعمالكم.
Yet lo! there are above you watchers, from among the angels, over your deeds,
كِرَامًا كَـٰتِبِينَ 11
{ كراما } على الله { كتبين } لها.
noble, in God’s sight, writers, of these [deeds],
يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ 12
{ يعلمون ما تفعلون } جميعه.
who know whatever you do, all of it.
