آنچه هرگز گمان نمی کردند

طبق این آیه, کافران در قیامت به اموری برخورد می‌کنند که وضع آن امورء بالاتر از تصورشان و بزرگ‌تر و هول‌انگیزتر از آن بوده که به ذهن آنان خطور کند؛ نه این که چیزهایی را خواهند دید که بدانها اعتقاد نداشتند. مشرکان از پیامبران و موّمنان می‌شنیدند که خدا برای اعمال بندگان؛ حساب و میزانی دارد و برای کافران» آتش و عذاب‌های رنگارنگی در نظر گرفته. آنگاه شنیده‌های خود را با آنچه در ذهنشان بودء یعنی آتش دنیا و عذاب دنیا و حساب و میزان دنیا مقایسه می‌کردند؛ اما هنگامی که در قیامت با عذاب الهی روبه‌رو شوندء خواهند دید که بزرگ‌تر از آن بوده که در دنیا به ذهن کسی خطور کند. این آیه در توصیف عذاب خدا مانند ید ۱۷ سورةٌ سحده است که در توصیف نعمت‌های بهشتیان می‌فرماید: «هیج کس نمی‌داند چه پاداش‌های مهمی که مایةٌ روشنی چشم‌هاست. برای آنها نهفته شده...»؟ > **پانوشت صفحه (منابع):** > ۱- نمونه ج۱۹. ص ۴۸۱ > ۴ المیزان» ج ۰۷ ص ۲۷۳ > ۱- نمونهء چ۰۱۹ ص ۴۸۱ ۲- پیشین» ص ۴۸۷ ۳ اطیب‌البیان» ج۱۱ء ص ۳۲۳ > ۳ اطیب‌البیان» ج۱ ص ۳۲۳ > **Cited sources** (grade before any load-bearing use): Tafsīr Nemūneh, al-Mīzān, Aṭyab al-Bayān.
