Ibn Abbas Commentary

(But those to whom knowledge and faith are given) those honoured with knowledge and faith (will say: The truth is, ye have tarried) in your graves, (by Allah's decree) those who say this are the angels; and it is said they are the prophets; and it is also said they are those who are sincere in their faith, they will say to the disbelievers: you remained in your graves (until the Day of Resurrection) from the graves. (This is the Day of Resurrection) this is the Day of Judgement, (but ye used not to know) this nor believe in it.

But those who have been given knowledge and faith of angels and others shall say ‘You have remained according to God’s decree in accordance with what He had decreed for you in His prior knowledge until the Day of Resurrection. This is the Day of Resurrection which you rejected but you did not know’ that it would come to pass.
