Surah Takathur ayat 8 Tafsir Quran 102:8

﴿ثُمَّ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ﴾
[ التكاثر: 8]

102:8 Then you will surely be asked that Day about pleasure.

Then on that day the day you see it you will assuredly be questioned la-tus’alunna the nūn of the indicative has been omitted because of one nūn coming after the other; likewise omitted is the wāw indicating the plural person of the verb because of two unvocalised consonants coming together about the comforts of the world the health leisure security food drink and other things which one enjoys in this world.

There and then shall you be asked of how you used the fruits of the years you received to your comfort and to your enjoyment and content, and how you exercised your faculties divine with which Allah had endowed you and to what extent

Which was revealed in Makkah بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The Result of Loving the World and Heedlessness of the Hereafter Allah says that all are preoccupied by love of the world, its delights and its adornments, and this distracts you from seeking the Hereafter and desiring it.
This delays you until death comes to you and you visit the graves, thus becoming its inhabitants.
In Sahih Al-Bukhari, it is recorded in the Book of Ar-Riqaq ( Narrations that soften the Heart ) from Anas bin Malik, who reported that Ubayy bin Ka`b said, "We used to think that this was a part of the Qur'an until the Ayah was revealed which says; أَلْهَـكُمُ التَّكَّاثُرُ ( The mutual increase diverts you. )" He was referring to the Hadith in which the Prophet said,
«لَوْ كَانَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادٍ مِنْ ذَهَب»
( If the Son of Adam had a valley of gold, he would desire another like it... ) Imam Ahmad recorded from `Abdullah bin Ash-Shikhkhir that he said, "I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was saying, أَلْهَـكُمُ التَّكَّاثُرُ يَقُولُ ابْنُ آدَمَ: مَالِي مَالِي، وَهَلْ لَكَ مِنْ مَالِكَ إِلَّا مَا أَكَلْتَ فَأَفْنَـيْتَ، أَوْ لَبِسْتَ فَأَبْلَيْتَ، أَوْ تَصَدَّقْتَ فَأَمْضَيْتَ؟» ( (The mutual increase diverts you. )" He was referring to the Hadith in which the Prophet said,
«لَوْ كَانَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ وَادٍ مِنْ ذَهَب»
( If the Son of Adam had a valley of gold, he would desire another like it... ) Imam Ahmad recorded from `Abdullah bin Ash-Shikhkhir that he said, "I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was saying, أَلْهَـكُمُ التَّكَّاثُرُ يَقُولُ ابْنُ آدَمَ: مَالِي مَالِي، وَهَلْ لَكَ مِنْ مَالِكَ إِلَّا مَا أَكَلْتَ فَأَفْنَـيْتَ، أَوْ لَبِسْتَ فَأَبْلَيْتَ، أَوْ تَصَدَّقْتَ فَأَمْضَيْتَ؟» ( (The mutual increase diverts you. )( The Son of Adam says, "My wealth, my wealth." But do you get anything (of benefit ) from your wealth except for that which you ate and you finished it, or that which you clothed yourself with and you wore it out, or that which you gave as charity and you have spent it)" Muslim, At-Tirmidhi and An-Nasa'i also recorded this Hadith.
Muslim recorded in his Sahih from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
«يَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ: مَالِي مَالِي، وَإِنَّمَا لَهُ مِنْ مَالِهِ ثَلَاثٌ: مَا أَكَلَ فَأَفْنَى، أَوْ لَبِسَ فَأَبْلَى، أَوْ تَصَدَّقَ فَأَمْضَى، وَمَا سِوَى ذَلِكَ فَذَاهِبٌ وَتَارِكُهُ لِلنَّاس»
( The servant says "My wealth, my wealth." Yet he only gets three (benefits ) from his wealth: that which he eats and finishes, that which he eats and finishes, that which he wears until it is worn out, or that which he gives in charity and it is spent.
Everything else other than that will go away and leave him for the people.) Muslim was alone in recording this Hadith.
Al-Bukhari recorded from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
«يَتْبَعُ الْمَيِّتَ ثَلَاثَةٌ، فَيَرْجِعُ اثْنَانِ وَيَبْقَى مَعَهُ وَاحِدٌ: يَتْبَعُهُ أَهْلُهُ وَمَالُهُ وَعَمَلُهُ، فَيَرْجِعُ أَهْلُهُ وَمَالُهُ، وَيَبْقَى عَمَلُه»
( Three things follow the deceased person, and two of them return while one remains behind with him.
The things which follow him are his family, his wealth and his deeds.
His family and his wealth return while his deeds remain. ) This Hadith has also been recorded by Muslim, At-Tirmidhi and An-Nasa'i.
Imam Ahmad recorded from Anas that the Prophet said,
«يَهْرَمُ ابْنُ آدَمَ وَيَبْقَى مِنْهُ اثْنَتَانِ: الْحِرْصُ وَالْأَمَل»
( The Son of Adam becomes old with senility, but yet two things remain with him: greed and hope. ) Both of them ( Al-Bukhari and Muslim ) recorded this Hadith in the Two Sahihs.

(102:8) Then, on that Day, you will be called to account for all the bounties you enjoyed. *4

Then you will surely be asked that meaning

*4) " Then " in this sentence dces not mean that accountability will be held after the culprits have been cast into Hell, but it means: " Then We give you the news that you will be questioned about these comforts of Iife, " and obviously this questioning will be held at the time of accountability in the Divine Court.
Its chief argument is that in several Ahadith it has been reported from the Holy Prophet ( upon whom be peace ) that the believers and the disbelievers, both will have to account for the blessings granted by Allah.
However, the people who did not show ingratitude but spent their lives as grateful servants of Allah, will come out successful from the accountability, and those who proved thankless to Allah for His blessings and committed ingratitude by word or by deed, or by both; will emerge as failures.

Hadrat Jabir bin `Abdullah says: " The Holy Prophet once visited us and we served him with fresh dates and gave him cool water to drink.
Thereupon he said: "These are of the blessings about which you will be questioned." ( Musnad Ahmad, Nasa'i, Ibn Jarir, Ibn al-Mundhir, Ibn Marduyah, `Abd bin Humaid, Baihaqi in Ash-Shu `ab ).

Hadrat Abu Hurairah has reported that the Holy Prophet once asked Hadrat Abu Bakr and Hadrat `Umar to accompany him to the place of AbulHaitham bin at-Tahan Ansari.
Thus, he took them to the oasis of Ibn at-Taihan-The latter brought a bunch of dates and placed it before them.
The Holy Prophet said: "Why didn't you pluck the dates yourself? ` He said: " 1 thought you would yourselves select and eat dates of your choice. " So, they ate the dates and drank cool water.
At the end, the Holy Prophet said: " By Him in Whose hand is my Iife: this is of the blessings about which you will be questioned on the Resurrection Day: the cool shade, the cool dates, the cool water. " ( This tradition has been narrated in different ways by Muslim, Ibn Majah, Abu Da'ud, Tirmidhi, Nasa'i, Ibn Jarir, Abu Ya`la and others, on the authority of Hadrat Abu Hurairah, in some of which the name of the Ansari Companion has been mentioned and in some he has been referred to as a person from among the Ansar.
This incident has been related with several details by Ibn Abi Hatim from Hadrat `Umar and by Imam Ahmad from Abu `Asib, the Holy Prophet's freed slave.
Ibn Hibban and Ibn Marduyah have related a tradition from Hadrat 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas, which shows that an almost similar thing had happened in the house of Hadrat Abu Ayyub Ansari.

These Ahadith make it explicit that not only the disbelievers but the righteous believers too will be questioned.
As for the blessings which Allah has bestowed on man, they are unlimited and countless.
There are many blessings of which man is not even conscious.
The Qur'an says: " If you try to count the blessings of Allah, you will not be able to calculate them. " (Ibrahim : 34 ).
Countless of them are the blessings which Allah has granted directly to man, and a large number of these are the blessings which man is granted through his own skill and endeavour.
About the blessings that accrue to man in consequence of his own labour and skill, he will have to render an account as to how he acquired them and in what ways he expended them.
In respect of the blessings directly bestowed by Allah, he will have to give an account as to how he used them.
And in respect of all the blessings, on the whole, he will have to tell whether he had acknowledged that those blessings had been granted by Allah and whether he had expressed gratitude for them to Allah with his heart, and by word and deed, or whether he thought he had received all that accidentally, or as' a gift from many gods, or whether he Geld the belief that although those were the blessings of One God, in their bestowal many other beings also had a part, and for that very reason he had taken them as his gods and worshipped and thanked them as such.

Yet he only gets three (benefits ) from his wealth: that which he eats and finishes, that which he eats and finishes, that which he wears until it is worn out, or that which he gives in charity and it is spent.

The things which follow him are his family, his wealth and his deeds.
His family and his wealth return while his deeds remain. ) This Hadith has also been recorded by Muslim, At-Tirmidhi and An-Nasa'i.
Imam Ahmad recorded from Anas that the Prophet said, «يَهْرَمُ ابْنُ آدَمَ وَيَبْقَى مِنْهُ اثْنَتَانِ: الْحِرْصُ وَالْأَمَل» ( The Son of Adam becomes old with senility, but yet two things remain with him: greed and hope. ) Both of them ( Al-Bukhari and Muslim ) recorded this Hadith in the Two Sahihs.

( Then, on that day ) on the Day of Judgement, ( ye will be asked concerning pleasure ) you will be asked about whether you gave thanks for all the bounties you enjoyed, of food, drink, clothing, etc’.

Then, on that Day, you shall be asked about the delight (you indulged in, in this world)!
