"The inquirer" in the verse is taken by some Commentators to refer to Nadr bin Al-Harith, or Abu Jahl. But it need not refer to any particular person. It may refer to all disbelievers because all of them repeatedly challenged the Holy Prophet to bring down upon them the threatened punishment (8:33; 21:39; 27:72; 32:29; 34:30; 36:49; 67:26).

Commentary:
"The inquirer" in the verse is taken by some commentators to refer to Nadr bin Al-Harith, or Abu Jahl. But it need not refer to any particular person. The disbelievers had repeatedly challenged the Holy Prophet to bring down upon them the threatened punishment (10:49; 21:39; 27:72; 32:29; 34:30; 36:49; 67:26). The demand was made in doubt and mockery. They had gone so far as to challenge the Prophet with the words, "O Allah, if this be indeed the truth from Thee, then rain down upon us stones from heaven or bring down upon us a grievous punishment" (8:33). The word "inquirer" may refer to all such questioners.

مِّنَ اللّٰہِ ذِی الۡمَعَارِجِ
安拉恩赐给为其献身者非常崇高的地位。
یعنی درجہ بدرجہ ترقی دینے والے خدا کی طرف سے۔
God grants to His votaries very exalted ranks.
Commentary:
The verse may mean that instead of demanding punishment the disbelievers should have accepted the Message of Islam and thus should have won the pleasure of God. Or it may mean that while the punishment that will overtake disbelievers will be highly destructive, the ascent of the believers to heights of spiritual perfection will also be without end. Or the verse may signify that as the attributes of God are manifested in stages, the punishment of disbelievers will also come in stages. The verse may also signify that the day when disbelievers will receive the most humiliating punishment in the form of the Fall of Mecca will be the most auspicious day in the Holy Prophet’s life—the day of his معراج (Ascension), when he will be at the height of his power.

بعض حساب دان جنہوں نے حساب کے ذریعہ سے دنیا کی عمر کا اندازہ لگایا ہے۔ انہوں نے قریباً پچاس ہزار سال ہی دنیا کی ساری عمر قرار دی ہے پس اگر ان کا قیاس صحیح ہے تو اس کے معنے یہ ہیں کہ اس آیت میں دنیا کی ساری عمر کی طرف اشارہ ہے۔ صلحاء اور اولیاء نے حضرت آدمؑ سے لے کر رسول کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے زمانہ تک پانچ ہزار سال کی عمر قرار دی ہے مگر اندازے الگ الگ حساب سے ہوتے ہیں۔ پس یہ اختلاف کوئی نہیں۔ آدم کی نسل سے سلسلہ انبیاء کی عمر ممکن ہے سات ہزار سال ہو اور طبقات الارض کے اندازے کے لحاظ سے دنیا کی عمر پچاس ہزار سال ہو پس یہ کوئی اختلاف نہیں۔
