Tafsir
Scholars largely agree on this ayah
The day they see it it will be as if they had only tarried in their graves for an evening or the morning thereof that is to say as if only one evening of a day or its morning the annexation of duhā ‘morning’ to ‘ashiyya ‘evening’ is valid on the basis of their contiguity since both constitute either side of the day; the annexation has also allowed for the word to fall in harmony with the end-rhyme of the verses.
