Ibn Abbas Commentary

(Hath he) Muhammad (invented a lie concerning Allah, or is there in him a madness?) Allah said: (Nay, but those who disbelieve in the Hereafter) those who disbelieve in resurrection after death (are in torment) in the Hereafter (and far error) from the Truth and guidance in the life of this world.

Has he invented read a’ftarā; the hamza read with a fatha vowelling is for the interrogative and suffices in place of the conjunctive hamza a lie against God in this respect or is there a madness in him does he suffer a dementia on account of which he has imagined that? God exalted be He says Nay but those who do not believe in the Hereafter that comprises resurrection and chastisement will be in the chastisement thereat and in error that is far from the truth in this world.
