قُلْ كَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكُمْ شَهِيدًا ۖ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِٱلْبَٰطِلِ وَكَفَرُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْخَٰسِرُونَ

4:167; 6:20; 13:44; 48:29.
Commentary:
This verse continues and develops the theme of the preceding verse. It purports to say that the disbelievers demand a sign to support and bear witness to the Holy Prophet’s claim as Divine Messenger while God Himself is Witness to his truth. Being All-Knowing and All-Aware, He knows best what signs He should show to help and advance the cause of the Holy Prophet. The disbelievers, surely, shall have such signs.

وَيَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ بِٱلْعَذَابِ ۚ وَلَوْلَآ أَجَلٌ مُّسَمًّى لَّجَآءَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ وَلَيَأْتِيَنَّهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
22:48; 26:205; 27:72, 73; 37:177, 178.
The verse gives a direct answer to the disbelievers’ demand for the Sign of punishment and says that instead of benefiting by the Sign of mercy which has been given to them in the form of the Qur’an, these ill-fated people persist in their demand for punishment. So they will have this Sign and the punishment will come upon them all of a sudden and from quarters least expected. But they will have to wait for a fixed and appointed term.
22:48; 26:205; 27:72-73; 37:177-178.
Commentary:
The verse gives a direct answer to the disbelievers’ demand for the sign of punishment and says that instead of benefiting by the sign of mercy which has been given to them in the form of the Quran, these ill-fated people persist in their demand for punishment. They will have this Sign and the punishment will come upon them also all of a sudden and from quarters least expected. But they will have to wait for أجل مسمی i.e. a fixed and appointed term.
The implied reference in the words أجل مسمی is to the migration of the Holy Prophet to Medina and the punishment demanded by the disbelievers is elsewhere expressed in the words, "O Allah! if this indeed be the truth from Thee, then rain down upon us stones from heaven or bring down upon us a grievous punishment" (8:33). The punishment came upon the disbelievers in the form of the Battle of Badr which took place about a year after the Holy Prophet left Mecca. It broke the power of the Quraish and all their prominent leaders were killed. Their defeat was crushing and most unexpected. They could never conceive that their well-armed and fully equipped army would be defeated by a handful of 313 ill-armed Muslims who had come to the field of battle quite unprepared, because they had no idea when they left Medina that they would be meeting a regular and fully armed host. The words, "it will come upon them unexpectedly" may also have a general application, meaning that when Divine punishment is delayed, the disbelievers begin to think that all the warning was but an illusion and a fantasy and consequently they become lulled into a false sense of security and even increase in transgression. It is when they are in this state of complacency that the punishment comes upon them quite unexpectedly and destroys them.

这节经文对不信的人要求降示惩罚的迹象这一点作了直接的答覆说, 这些招致不幸的人们不去从已经以 «古兰经» 形式给予他们仁慈迹象中去得益, 却坚持要降示惩罚的迹象。那么, 他们将会看到这种迹象。惩罚将从他们万万想不到的地方突然降临他们。但他们必须等待一个约定的刑期。

يَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ بِٱلْعَذَابِ وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمُحِيطَةٌۢ بِٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ
متواتر ایک مطالبہ کو آگے پیچھے بیان کرنے سے صاف ظاہر ہے کہ ایک مطالبہ دنیوی عذاب کے متعلق ہے اور دوسرا مطالبہ اُخروی عذاب کے متعلق ہے۔ ایک مطالبہ سے یہ مراد ہے کہ ہم پر تیری پیشگوئیوں کے مطابق دنیا میں عذاب کیوں نہیں آجاتا اور دوسرے مطالبہ سے یہ مراد ہے کہ کیوں ہم تیری مخالفت کی وجہ سے مَر نہیں جاتے اور جہنم میں داخل نہیں ہو جاتے۔ چنانچہ دوسرے مطالبہ کے بعد جہنم کا بھی ذکر ہے جو پہلے مطالبہ کے بعدنہیں۔
9:49, 13:36; 17:9.

يَوْمَ يَغْشَىٰهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ مِن فَوْقِهِمْ وَمِن تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِهِمْ وَيَقُولُ ذُوقُوا۟ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
6:9.
Commentary:
The verse purports to say that God is Compassionate and Merciful. He is very slow in sending down punishment. He delays and defers it. But when the iniquity and transgressions of evildoers exceed all legitimate bounds and they throw all decency and propriety to the winds and set their face against God and His Prophets and His laws, then God’s wrath is kindled and punishment overtakes them. It is sudden and swift and like a cataract overwhelms them from every direction.

Commentary:
As in the foregoing verses an implied reference was made to the migration, the believers in this verse are comforted that if life in their own native place has been made unbearable for them, the earth of God is vast and spacious and if they have to leave their hearths and homes for the sake of God, they will find "abundant place of refuge and plentifulness (4:101)."

25:76; 34:38.
Believers are here promised in clear and unequivocal terms that those who leave their hearths and homes in the way of God, and then remain steadfast in their belief and do righteous deeds, the reward they get far exceeds all that they lose for God’s sake.

11:7.
یعنی بظاہر انسان کمائی کرکے رزق حاصل کرتا ہے مگر جانور اور کیڑے مکوڑے گھاس پھونس یا اپنے سے باریک کیڑے کھا کر گزارہ کرتے ہیں۔ پس جانوروں کے لئے رزق مہیا کرنا بتاتا ہے کہ انسان کے لئے بھی خدا ہی رزق مہیا کر رہا ہے اور اس کی کمائی صرف ایک پردہ ہے۔

When even animals and birds do not go without food, it is inconceivable that man, who is God’s noblest creation and its acme and apex, should starve.

Commentary:
In the present and the next two verses the point has been further stressed that God is the Creator and Source of all life, and for the continuity of this life He has pressed into the service of man all the forces of nature. This is a self-evident truth which not even the most confirmed disbeliever, consistently with reason, has the courage to deny. When such is the case, the verse purports to say, the believers who leave their hearths and homes and fly to a foreign land for the sake of God should not think that they would be left unprovided and uncared for.
