Surah Zumar ayat 19 Tafsir Quran 39:19

﴿أَفَمَنْ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِ كَلِمَةُ الْعَذَابِ أَفَأَنتَ تُنقِذُ مَن فِي النَّارِ﴾
[ الزمر: 19]

39:19 Then, is one who has deserved the decree of punishment [to be guided]? Then, can you save one who is in the Fire?

Can he against whom the word of chastisement has been fulfilled …? namely the words I will surely fill Hell with jinn and mankind together Q. 11119; Will you deliver bring out one who is in the Fire? this is the response to the conditional clause in which the overt qualification man fī’l-nār ‘one who is in the Fire’ replaces the pronominalisation a-fa-man ‘he … whom’; the hamza in a-fa-anta ‘will you’ is for rejection in other words the sense is that you will not be able to guide him and therefore deliver him from the Fire.

Can he whom Allah has justly destined to the abode in Hell escape his destiny! would you be able, O Muhammad to rescue anyone imprisoned in the fire

مِّن فَوْقِهَا غُرَفٌ مَّبْنِيَّةٌ ( are built lofty rooms, one above another ), story upon story, solidly-constructed, adorned and high.
`Abdullah bin Al-Imam Ahmad recorded that `Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
«إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ لَغُرَفًا يُرَى بُطُونُهَا مِنْ ظُهُورِهَا، وَظُهُورُهَا مِنْ بُطُونِهَا»
( In Paradise there are rooms whose inside can be seen from the outside, and the outside can be seen from the inside. ) A bedouin asked, `Who are they for, O Messenger of Allah' He said,
«لِمَنْ أَطَابَ الْكَلَامَ، وَأَطْعَمَ الطَّعَامَ، وَصَلَّى بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّاسُ نِيَام»
( For those who speak kindly, feed the hungry and stand in prayer at night whilst the people are sleeping. )" This was also recorded by At-Tirmidhi, who said, "Hasan Gharib".
Imam Ahmad recorded from Sahl bin Sa`d, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
«إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ لَيَتَرَاءَوْنَ فِي الْغُرْفَةِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، كَمَا تَرَاءَوْنَ الْكَوْكَبَ فِي أُفُقِ السَّمَاء»
( The people of Paradise will look towards each other in raised places of Paradise as you look towards the stars on the horizons of the sky. ) He said, "I told An-Nu`man bin Abi `Ayyash about that, and he said, `I heard Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, narrate it:
«كَمَا تَرَاءَوْنَ الْكَوْكَبَ الَّذِي فِي الْأُفُقِ الشَّرْقِيِّ أَوِ الْغَرْبِي»
( As you see the stars on the horizon of the east or the west. )"' It was also recorded in the Two Sahihs.
Imam Ahmad said, "Fazarah narrated to us; Fulayh narrated to us; from Hilal bin `Ali, from `Ata' bin Yasar, from Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
«إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ لَيَتَرَاءَوْنَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَهْلَ الْغُرَفِ، كَمَا تَرَاءَوْنَ الْكَوْكَبَ الدُّرِّيَّ الْغَارِبَ فِي الْأُفُقِ الطَّالِعِ، فِي تَفَاضُلِ أَهْلِ الدَّرَجَات»
( The people of Paradise will look towards each other in the raised places of Paradise as you look at the high, bright stars which remain on the horizon.
Such will be the difference in superiority which some of them have over others. ) They said, "O Messenger of Allah, are those the abodes of the Prophets" He said:
«بَلَى، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، وَأَقْوَامٌ آمَنُوا بِاللهِ وَصَدَّقُوا الرُّسُل»
( No, by the One in Whose Hand is my soul, they are the abodes of people who believed in Allah and in the Messengers. ) It was also recorded by At-Tirmidhi, who said, "Hasan Sahih." تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا الأَنْهَـرُ ( under which rivers flow. ) means, the rivers flow wherever the people want them to flow. وَعَدَ اللَّهُ ( (This is ) the promise of Allah,) means, `all that We have mentioned here is what Allah has promised to His believing servants.' إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ ( and Allah does not fail in (His ) promise.)

(39:19) (O Prophet), can you save him (from chastisement) against whom the sentence of chastisement has become due; *37 him who has, (as it were), already fallen into the Fire?'

Then, is one who has deserved the meaning

*37) That is, the person who has made himself worthy of Allah's punishment and about whom Allah has already decided that he will be punished.

( Is he on whom the word of doom is fulfilled ) is the one upon whom the doom is decreed, i.e. Abu Jahl and his host, ( and canst thou (O Muhammad ) rescue him who is in the Fire) he upon whom the Fire is decreed?

Is, then one against whom the Word of punishment justified (equal to the one who avoids evil). Will you (O Muhammad SAW) rescue him who is in the Fire?
