وَقُلْنَا مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ لِبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱسْكُنُوا۟ ٱلْأَرْضَ فَإِذَا جَآءَ وَعْدُ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ جِئْنَا بِكُمْ لَفِيفًا
7:138.
这节经文意示, 穆斯林将像犹太人那样遭受民族的灾难。第一次灾难降临穆斯林是在哈拉库汗 (Halaku Khan) 的鞑靼军攻陷巴格达的时候。这里对他们说, 在后期--------在主许的迈喜年代--------他们将受到安拉第二次惩罚, 正好像犹太人在第一位迈喜合--------伊撒时代受到惩罚的那样。这节经文意指, 当穆斯林受到第二次惩罚时, 即意味着实现 “后期的约定” 的时候, 犹太人将从世界各地被带回这块圣地。这一预言已显然实现, 在巴尔福宣言下犹太人已回到了巴勒斯坦并且成立了所谓以色列国家。“后期的约定” 指的是主许迈喜合时代 (بَيَانْ, Bayan)。

پہلے وَعْدُ الْاٰخِرَۃ آچکا ہے جو یہود کے متعلق تھا۔ اس کے بعد چونکہ دوبارہ وَعْدُ الْاٰخِرَۃ آیا ہے اس سے صاف ظاہر ہے کہ یہ اور وعدہ ہے اور وہ مسلمانوں ہی کے متعلق ہو سکتا ہے پس ہم نے مسلمانوں کا لفظ بریکٹ میں لکھ دیا ہے۔ یہ مضمون پہلے مفسرین نے بھی لکھا ہے۔ (دیکھیئے فتح البیان جو اصل میں علامہ شو کانی کی تصنیف ہے)
یعنی یہود کو فلسطین میں تیسری دفعہ لائیں گے۔ اس پیشگوئی کے مطابق بنی اسرائیل آج کل فلسطین پر قابض ہو گئے ہیں۔
7:138.
The verse implies that like Jews, the Muslims would suffer national disaster twice. The first of these two disasters befell Muslims when Baghdad fell to the arms of the Tartars under Halaku Khan. They are here told that they would be visited with Divine punishment for the second time in the Latter Days—in the time of the Promised Messiah, just as the Jews were punished in that of the first Messiah—Jesus. The verse signifies that when Muslims are punished for the second time, which means the fulfilment of 'the promise of the Latter Days,' the Jews would be brought back to the Holy Land from all parts of the world. The prophecy has been remarkably fulfilled by the return of the Jews to Palestine under the Balfour Declaration and by the setting up of the so-called State of Israel. 'The promise of the Latter Days' applies to the time of the Promised Messiah (Bayan).

Important Words:
لفیفا (together) is derived from لف i.e. he folded up or wrapped up a thing in another thing. لف العدو means, he involved the enemy in difficulty. لف و نشر in rhetoric means, involution and evolution or complication and explication. لفیفا means, wrapped up under an envelope; mixed; mixed crowd; intimate friend (Lane & Aqrab).
Commentary:
The words "the land" do not refer to Egypt, where the Israelites never dwelt after Pharaoh had been drowned. They refer to Canaan, the land which was promised to them.
It is worthy of note that whereas Moses could never settle the Israelites in Egypt where he was born and brought up and got only Canaan as a substitute for it, the Holy Prophet not only regained Mecca, the land of his birth and the cradle of his Faith, but many other countries also fell into the hands of his followers.
The present verse read along with verses 17:6-8 & 1:6-7 may be explained as follows:
After the destruction of Pharaoh Jews would go and dwell in Canaan from where after sometime they would be driven away but would later return to it. In consequence, however, of their misdeeds they would again be visited with Divine punishment and be banished from their hearths and homes and would live in exile till the time when the second of the two punishments would overtake another people (Muslims) who would succeed them (the Jews) as their counterparts. It is then that they (the Jews) will be gathered from the ends of the earth and brought back to their Holy Land. But with the regeneration of Muslims through the Promised Messiah the latter would again come into their own.
The verse also implies that, like Jews, the Muslims would suffer- national disaster twice. As mentioned in vv. 6-8 Divine punishment befell the Jews twice. They suffered terribly first at the hands of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, when they were carried away into captivity, and then a second time at the hands of the Emperor Titus of Rome. On both these occasions the Jews were driven away from their native land and were scattered all over the world. In the present verse a promise has been held out to them that they will be gathered in the Holy Land at the time of the fulfilment of "the promise of the latter days" (وعدالاخرة). This fulfilment of "the promise of the latter days" must have reference to some other incident than the twofold national disaster that overtook the Jews. Elsewhere (73:16) the Quran has compared the Holy Prophet to Moses and 1:7 implies that a section of Muslims would follow in the footsteps of Jews. It can therefore be reasonably concluded that, like Jews, Muslims also were destined to be smitten twice with national disaster. The first of these two disasters befell Muslims at the time of the Crusades when for a time the Holy Land was lost to them and later when Baghdad fell to the arms of the Tartars under Hulagu Khan. They were to be visited with Divine punishment for the second time in the time of the Promised Messiah just as the Jews were punished in that of the first Messiah—Jesus. In the present verse we are told that when Muslims are punished for the second time which means the fulfilment of "the promise of the latter days" the Jews would be brought back to their Holy Land from all parts of the world. This is what is happening now in Palestine.
According to Fat’hul-Bayan some very prominent Muslim religious scholars hold the view that وعدالاخرة (the promise of the latter days) applies to the time of the Promised Messiah. This interpretation supports our view.

Some Commentators of the Qur’an think that the words, of the posterity of Adam, refer to Idris, and, whom We carried in the Ark with Noah, refer to Abraham, and the words, of the posterity of Abraham, refer to Ishmael, Isaac and Jacob; and the words, of the posterity of, are understood before the word Israel and refer to Moses, Aaron, Zachariah, Yahya and Jesus, all of whom have been mentioned in the preceding verses of the present Surah.

17:108,110; 32:16.
Commentary:
This verse explains two things:(1) The Prophets whose names have been mentioned in it were righteous and holy men. But in spite of the very exalted position they held they were ordinary mortals. Jesus, like them, too, was a Prophet of God and like them a mere mortal. There was nothing in him that could entitle him to some special position. (2) These righteous and holy men were Divine Prophets and as such sinless. The Jews in the Old Testament (Gen. 9:21-23; 19:31-38; 20:2; Exod. 32:1-4); and Christians in the New Testament (John 10:8) hurled at these paragons of piety and righteousness very filthy charges, the former in order to screen their own crimes and the latter in order to establish the exclusive sinlessness of Jesus. Special stress has been laid on their holiness in the verse under comment and it is in order to clear them completely of the charges attributed to them and also to demolish the wrong notion of the exclusive sinlessness of Jesus that the words "whom We guided and chose" have been used about them.
