"With their eyes humbled," meaning: abased. And the hypocrites will be left with their backs as a single board, as if there were skewers within them, so they will say: 'Our Lord!' He will say: 'You have lied. You were called to prostrate while you were sound,' and that is because their prostration in the world was not for the sake of Allah; it was only out of ostentation, so that they might not be killed and their offspring might not be taken captive.
﴿خاشعة أَبْصَارهم﴾ أَي: ذليلة (٣). (ل ٣٧٠) وَيَبْقَى الْمُنَافِقُونَ ظُهُورُهُمْ طَبَقًا وَاحِدًا كَأَنَّ فِيهَا السَّفَافِيدُ (٤) فَيَقُولُونَ: رَبَّنَا فَيَقُولُ: كَذَبْتُمْ قَدْ كُنْتُمْ تُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى السُّجُودِ وَأَنْتُمْ سَالِمُونَ؛ وَذَلِكَ أَنْ سُجُودَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لِلَّهِ، إِنَّمَا كَانَ رِيَاءً؛ حَتَّى لَا يُقْتَلُوا وَلَا تُسْبَى ذَرَارِيهمْ
