AL AHQAAF (BUKIT-BUKIT PASIR) — Ayat 17
وَالَّذِي قَالَ لِوَالِدَيْهِ أُفٍّ لَّكُمَا أَتَعِدَانِنِي أَنْ أُخْرَجَ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ الْقُرُونُ مِن قَبْلِي وَهُمَا يَسْتَغِيثَانِ اللَّهَ وَيْلَكَ آمِنْ إِنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ فَيَقُولُ مَا هَذَا إِلَّا أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ
But one who says to his parents, "Uff to you; do you promise me that I will be brought forth [from the earth] when generations before me have already passed on [into oblivion]?" while they call to Allah for help [and to their son], "Woe to you! Believe! Indeed, the promise of Allah is truth." But he says, "This is not but legends of the former people" -
Tafsir
{And he who said to his parents} and in a reading with assimilation, what is meant by it is the gender {af-i} with a kasra or fatha on the fa, meaning a verbal noun, meaning foul odor and ugliness {to you both} I am fed up with you {Do you promise me} and in a reading with assimilation {that I will come forth} from the grave {while generations} nations {have passed away before me} and did not come forth from the graves {and they both seek help from Allah} asking Him for help through his return and saying if you do not return {Woe to you} meaning your destruction meaning you are destroyed {believe} in the resurrection {that the promise of Allah is true} and he says, {This is not} meaning the saying about the resurrection {except legends of the ancients} their lies.
