وَقَالُواْ لَوۡلَا نُزِّلَ هَٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡقَرۡيَتَيۡنِ عَظِيمٍ
Et ils dirent: «Pourquoi n'a-t-on pas fait descendre ce Coran sur un haut personnage de l'une des deux cités?» (la Mecque et Tâ'îf)
Al-Jalalayn — Al-Jalalayn
And they said ‘If only this Qur’ān had been revealed to some great man from the inhabitants of the two towns!’ in other words from either of the two; such as al-Walīd b. al-Mughīra at Mecca or ‘Urwa b. Mas‘ūd al-Thaqafī at Tā’if.
أَهُمۡ يَقۡسِمُونَ رَحۡمَتَ رَبِّكَۚ نَحۡنُ قَسَمۡنَا بَيۡنَهُم مَّعِيشَتَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَاۚ وَرَفَعۡنَا بَعۡضَهُمۡ فَوۡقَ بَعۡضٖ دَرَجَٰتٖ لِّيَتَّخِذَ بَعۡضُهُم بَعۡضٗا سُخۡرِيّٗاۗ وَرَحۡمَتُ رَبِّكَ خَيۡرٞ مِّمَّا يَجۡمَعُونَ
Est-ce eux qui distribuent la miséricorde de ton Seigneur? C'est Nous qui avons réparti entre eux leur subsistance dans la vie présente et qui les avons élevés en grades les uns sur les autres, afin que les uns prennent les autres à leur service. La miséricorde de ton Seigneur vaut mieux, cependant, que ce qu'ils amassent
Al-Jalalayn — Al-Jalalayn
Is it they who apportion the mercy of your Lord? the mercy being prophethood. We have apportioned among them their livelihood in the life of this world making some of them wealthy and others poor and raised some of them in wealth above others by degrees so that some of them who are wealthy may take others who are poor in service disposed to work for them in return for a wage the final yā’ in sukhriyyā is attributive; a variant reading has sikhriyyan; and the mercy of your Lord that is Paradise is better than what they amass in this world.
وَلَوۡلَآ أَن يَكُونَ ٱلنَّاسُ أُمَّةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ لَّجَعَلۡنَا لِمَن يَكۡفُرُ بِٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ لِبُيُوتِهِمۡ سُقُفٗا مِّن فِضَّةٖ وَمَعَارِجَ عَلَيۡهَا يَظۡهَرُونَ
Si les hommes ne devaient pas constituer une seule communauté (mécréante), Nous aurions certes pourvu les maisons de ceux qui ne croient pas au Tout Miséricordieux, de toits d'argent avec des escaliers pour y monter
Al-Jalalayn — Al-Jalalayn
And were it not for the danger that mankind would be one community following disbelief We would have made for those who disbelieve in the Compassionate One roofs read saqfan or plural suqufan of silver for their houses li-buyūtihim substitutes for li-man ‘for those who’ and stairs such as steps also of silver by which they ascend by which they go up to the roof;
وَلِبُيُوتِهِمۡ أَبۡوَٰبٗا وَسُرُرًا عَلَيۡهَا يَتَّكِـُٔونَ
(Nous aurions pourvu) leurs maisons de portes et de divans où ils s'accouderaient
Al-Jalalayn — Al-Jalalayn
and doors of silver for their houses and We would have made for them couches of silver surur ‘couches’ is the plural of sarīr on which they recline
وَزُخۡرُفٗاۚ وَإِن كُلُّ ذَٰلِكَ لَمَّا مَتَٰعُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَاۚ وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةُ عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ
ainsi que des ornements. Et tout cela ne serait que jouissance temporaire de la vie d'ici-bas, alors que l'au-delà, auprès de ton Seigneur, est pour les pieux
Al-Jalalayn — Al-Jalalayn
and ornaments gold in other words were it not for fear that a believer might disbelieve as a result of Our giving the disbeliever what has been mentioned We would have given him such luxuries since the affairs of this world represent no danger to Us and he the disbeliever would then have no share in the Bliss of the Hereafter. Yet surely wa-in in is softened from the hardened form inna all that would be nothing read lamā with the mā as extra; or read lammā to mean ‘but’ making the particle in for negation but the transient enjoyment of the life of this world enjoyed during it but then perishes and the Hereafter Paradise with your Lord is for the God-fearing.
