Al-Hajj • EN-TAFSIR-IBN-ABBAS
﴿ وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَحْيَاكُمْ ثُمَّ يُمِيتُكُمْ ثُمَّ يُحْيِيكُمْ ۗ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لَكَفُورٌۭ ﴾
“seeing that it is He who gave you life, and then will cause you to die, and then will bring you back to life: [but,] verily, bereft of all gratitude is man!”
(And He it is Who gave you life) when you were very little in the wombs of your mothers, (then He will cause you to die) in young or old age, (and then will give you life (again)) at resurrection after death. (Lo! Man) i.e. the disbeliever Budayl Ibn Warqa' al-Khuza'i (is verily an ingrate) he disbelieves in Allah, resurrection after death as well as in the immolated animals of the Muslims.
