Surah Adiyat ayat 11 Tafsir Quran 100:11

﴿إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيرٌ﴾
[ العاديات: 11]

100:11 Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.

on that day their Lord will indeed be Aware of them Knower of them and will requite them for their disbelief the pronoun reverts to the plural because of the collective import of the term ‘man’; this sentence indicates the direct object of the verb ya‘lamu ‘does he not know’ that is to say ‘We will requite him at the time mentioned’; khabīrun ‘Aware’ is semantically connected to yawma’idhin ‘on that day’ even though in fact God is ever Aware because that is the Day of Requital.

And that this is the Day their Creator reveals to them secrets He knows; which secrets they had long forgotten

Which was revealed in Makkah بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ (In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Swearing by the Horses of War about the Ungratefulness of Man and His Zeal for Wealth Allah swears by the horses when they are made to gallop into battle in His path ( i.e., Jihad ), and thus they run and pant, which is the sound that is heard from the horse when it runs. فَالمُورِيَـتِ قَدْحاً ( Striking sparks of fire. ) meaning, the striking of their hooves on the rocks, which causes sparks of fire to fly from them. فَالْمُغِيرَتِ صُبْحاً ( And scouring to the raid at dawn. ) meaning, the raid that is carried out in the early morning time.
This is just as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform raids in the early morning.
He would wait to see if he heard the Adhan ( call to prayer ) from the people.
If he heard it he would leave them alone, and if he didn't hear it he would attack.
Then Allah says, فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِ نَقْعاً ( And raise the dust in clouds the while. ) meaning, dust at the place of the battle with the horses. فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِ جَمْعاً ( And penetrating forthwith as one into the midst. ) means, then are all in the middle of that spot, together.
Allah's saying; فَالْمُغِيرَتِ صُبْحاً ( And scouring to the raid at dawn. ) Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid and Qatadah, all said, "This means the invasion of the horses in the morning in the way of Allah." And His statement, فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِ نَقْعاً ( And raise the dust in clouds the while. ) This is the place in which the attack takes place.
The dust is stirred up by it.
And His statement, فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِ جَمْعاً ( And penetrating forthwith as one into the midst. ) Al-`Awfi narrated from Ibn `Abbas, `Ata, `Ikrimah, Qatadah and Ad-Dahhak that they all said, "This means into the midst of the disbelieving enemy." Concerning Allah's statement, إِنَّ الإِنسَـنَ لِرَبِّهِ لَكَنُودٌ ( Verily, man is ungrateful (Kanud ) to his Lord.) This is the subject what is being sworn about, and it means that he ( man ) is ungrateful for the favors of His Lord and he rejects them.
Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid, Ibrahim An-Nakha`i, Abu Al-Jawza', Abu Al-`Aliyah, Abu Ad-Duha, Sa`id bin Jubayr, Muhammad bin Qays, Ad-Dahhak, Al-Hasan, Qatadah, Ar-Rabi` bin Anas and Ibn Zayd all said, "Al-Kanud means ungrateful." Al-Hasan said, "Al-Kanud is the one who counts the calamities ( that befall him ) and he forgets Allah's favors." Concerning Allah's statement, وَإِنَّهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ لَشَهِيدٌ ( And to that He bears witness. ) Qatadah and Sufyan Ath-Thawri both said, "And indeed Allah is a witness to that." It is also possible that the pronoun ( He ) could be referring to man.
This was said by Muhammad bin Ka`b Al-Qurazi.
Thus, its meaning would be that man is a witness himself to the fact that he is ungrateful.
This is obvious in his condition, meaning this is apparent from his statements and deeds.
This is as Allah says, مَا كَانَ لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ أَن يَعْمُرُواْ مَسَاجِدَ الله شَـهِدِينَ عَلَى أَنفُسِهِم بِالْكُفْرِ ( It is not for the idolators, to maintain the Masajid of Allah, while they witness disbelief against themselves. ) ( 9:17 ) Allah said; وَإِنَّهُ لِحُبِّ الْخَيْرِ لَشَدِيدٌ ( And verily, he is violent in the love of wealth. ) meaning, and indeed in his love of the good, which is wealth, he is severe.
There are two opinions concerning this.
One of them is that it means that he is severe.
There are two opinions concerning this.
One of them is that it means that he is severe in his love of wealth.
The other view is that it means he is covetous and stingy due to the love of wealth.
However, both views are correct. The Threat about the Hereafter Then Allah encourages abstinence from worldly things and striving for the Hereafter, and He informs of what the situation will be after this present condition, and what man will face of horrors.
He says, أَفَلاَ يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِى الْقُبُورِ ( Knows he not that when the contents of the graves are poured forth ) meaning, the dead that are in it will be brought out. وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِى الصُّدُورِ ( And that which is in the breasts shall be made known ) Ibn `Abbas and others have said, "This means what was in their souls would be exposed and made apparent." إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّخَبِيرٌ ( Verily, that Day their Lord will be Well-Acquainted with them. ) meaning, He knows all of that they used to do, and He will compensate them for it with the most deserving reward.
He does not do even the slightest amount of injustice.
This is the end of the Tafsir of Surat Al-`Adiyat, and all praise and thanks are due to Allah.

(100:11) Surely on that Day will their Lord be fully informed about them. *9

Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, meaning

*9) That is, He will be knowing full well who is who, and what punishment or reward he deserves.

On that day) the Day of Judgement ( will their Lord be perfectly informed concerning them ) their Lord is perfectly Aware’.

Verily, that Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) their Lord will be Well-Acquainted with them (as to their deeds), (and will reward them for their deeds).
