Surah Waqiah ayat 48 Tafsir Quran 56:48

﴿أَوَآبَاؤُنَا الْأَوَّلُونَ﴾
[ الواقعة: 48]

56:48 And our forefathers [as well]?"

What! And our forefathers too?’ read a-wa-ābā’unā with the wa- being for supplement the hamza a- for the interrogative; here and in the previous instance it is used to express ‘remoteness of probability’; a variant reading has aw-ābā’unā as a supplement with aw and that to which this is supplemented is the syntactical locus of inna and its subject.

And what about our forefathers; are they also included

When the prophets answered in the affirmative, they asked the prophets: ( And also our forefathers ) who died before us?

"And also our forefathers?"
