Tafsir jalalayn

They, those of the [mentioned] hearts and eyes, will say, mockingly and in rejection of the Resurrection; `Are we indeed (read a-inn pronouncing both hamzas, or by not pronouncing the second, and inserting an alif between them in both cases, and in both instances) being restored as before? Shall we be restored to life after death (al-hfira is a noun signifying the `first part' of anything, from which is derived the expression raja`a f hfiratihi to mean that so and so `returned whence he had come').

Tafseer Ibn Kathir

They say;"Shall we indeed be brought back from Al-Hafirah"

meaning, the idolators of the Quraysh and whoever rejects the Hereafter as they did. They consider the occurrence of the resurrection after being placed in Al-Hafirah -- which are the graves -- as something farfetched.

This has been said by Mujahid.

They feel that this is something impossible after the destruction of their physical bodies and the disintegration of their bones and their decaying.

Thus, Allah says,

أَيِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا نَّخِرَةً
