His saying, the Exalted: "And the Jews say: 'The Christians are not upon anything,' and the Christians say: 'The Jews are not upon anything,' while they recite the Scripture." This means: the Torah and the Gospel; that is, how did they differ and divide [concerning the Scripture], when the Scripture is one, coming from Allah, each part of it confirming the other? "Thus, those who do not know spoke like their saying."
Muhammad said: This refers to those who denied from among the nations: the nation of Noah, ‘Ad, Thamud, and others; that is, these people also said: "None shall enter Paradise except he who is of our religion," according to what was mentioned by Ibn ‘Abbas. "So Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ."
Yahya said: His judgment regarding them will be that He will declare them all to be liars and admit them into the Fire. [Verses 114-115]
قَوْله تَعَالَى: ﴿وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ لَيْسَتِ النَّصَارَى عَلَى شَيْءٍ وَقَالَتِ النَّصَارَى لَيْسَتِ الْيَهُودُ عَلَى شَيْءٍ وَهُمْ يَتلون الْكتاب﴾ يَعْنِي: التَّوْرَاة وَالْإِنْجِيل؛ أَي: فَكيف اخْتلفُوا وَتَفَرَّقُوا [فِي الْكتاب]، وَالْكتاب وَاحِد جَاءَ من عِنْد اللَّه يصدق بعضه بَعْضا. ﴿كَذَلِكَ قَالَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِمْ﴾
قَالَ مُحَمَّد: يَعْنِي من كذب من الْأُمَم: أمة نوح وَعَاد وَثَمُود وَغَيرهم؛ أَي: أَن هَؤُلاءِ أَيْضا قَالُوا: لن يدْخل الجَنَّة أَلا من كَانَ عَلَى ديننَا؛ فِيمَا ذكر ابْن عَبَّاس. ﴿فَاللَّهُ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فِيمَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ﴾.
قَالَ يَحْيَى: فَيكون حكمه فيهم أَن يكذبهم جَمِيعًا، ويدخلهم النَّار. [آيَة ١١٤ - ١١٥]
