Verse range: 82:19

Open in Qurani

يوم ﻻ تملك نفس لنفس شييا

(It will be) the Day when no person shall have power for another, meaning, no one will be able to benefit anyone else, or help him out of that which he will be in, unless Allah gives permission to whomever He wishes and is pleased with. We will mention here a Hadith where the Prophet said,

يا بني هاشم أنقذوا أنفسكم من النار ﻻ أملك لكم من الله شييا

O children of Hashim! Save yourselves from the Fire, for I have no power to cause you any benefit from Allah. This has been mentioned previously at the end of the Tafsir of Surah Ash-Shu`ara' (see 26:214). Thus, Allah says,

واﻻمر يوميذ لله

and the Decision, that Day, will be with Allah. "By Allah, the Decision is for Allah today (now), but on that Day no one will try to dispute with Him about it.'' This is the end of the Tafsir of Surah Al-Infitar. All praise and blessings are due to Allah, and He is the Giver of success and freedom from error
