Surah Adh-Dhariyat Ayat 43 Tafsir (Commentry)



  • Tafseer-e-Naeemi (Ahmad Yaar Khan)
  • Ibn Kathir
  • Ala-Madudi

48. The people of Hazrat Saleh (On whom be peace) who were extremely rebellious. This tells us that if just by reading the stories of these wretched people can inspire faith in the reader, then stories of the pious, too, is a means of strengthening one's faith.

49. After they had cruelly slaughtered the she-camel, Hazrat Saleh(On whom be peace) gave them the information that after this they will only live for three more days, i.e. for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. On Saturday they would be destroyed. This tells us that the pious servants of Allah Almighty are fully aware of the time, place and nature of the death of people.

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah Ad-Dhariyat verse 43 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Dhariyat ayat 38 which provides the complete commentary from verse 38 through 46.

(51:43) There is also a Sign for you in (the story of) Thamud. They were told: “Enjoy yourselves for a while.”[40]

40. The commentators have disputed as to which respite it implies. Qatadah says that it alludes to that verse of Surah Houd in which it has been stated that when the Thamud killed the she camel of the Prophet Salih (peace be upon him), they were warned by Allah that they had three more days to enjoy life after which they would be overtaken by the torment. Contrary to this, Hasan Basri has expressed the opinion that this thing had been said by the Prophet Salih (peace be upon him) to his people in the beginning of his mission and by this he meant that if they would not adopt the way of repentance and faith, they would be granted a respite to enjoy life in the world only till an appointed time, and then they would be overtaken by the torment. The second of these two commentaries seems to be more correct, for the following verse (But they defied the command of their Lord) indicates that the respite being mentioned here had been given before the defiance and they committed it after the warning. On the contrary, the three days respite mentioned in Surah Houd had been given after the wicked people had committed the final defiance which became decisive in their case and sealed their doom forever afterwards.
