Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

What the Pious say about the Revelation, their Reward and their Condition during and after DeathHere we are told about the blessed, as opposed to the doomed, who, when they are asked, مَّاذَآ أَنزَلَ رَبُّكُمْ(What is it that your Lord has revealed) they will reluctantly answer, "He did not reveal anything, these are just the fables of old.
