"The Sabbath was only prescribed for those who differed over it." Qatada's interpretation is: Some of them made it lawful, while others deemed it unlawful. "And indeed, your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection." His judgment regarding them is that He will admit the believers among them into Paradise and admit the disbelievers into the Fire.
﴿إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ السَّبْتُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ اخْتلفُوا فِيهِ﴾ تَفْسِيرُ قَتَادَةَ: اسْتَحَلَّهُ بَعْضُهُمْ، وَحَرَّمَهُ بَعْضُهُمْ ﴿وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَيَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْم الْقِيَامَة﴾ وَحُكْمُهُ فِيهِمْ أَنْ يُدْخِلَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ، وَيُدْخِلَ الْكَافِرِينَ النَّارَ.
