يَوْمَئِذٍ تُحَدِّثُ أَخْبَارَهَا
On that day she will relate her chronicles
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 99:4
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 99:4] The earth will divulge all the events that ever took place on her. The present order will pass away, but the deeds done therein, even the most secret, will be made known when Allah will give the command. See commentary of Nahl: 68 for the inspiration (wahi) or direction given to bees. It is written in Minhajus Sadiqin that according to Fatimah Zahra one day an earthquake sent the people of Madina into a panic, and all of them along with Abu Bakr and Umar came to Ali. He took them outside the city and addressed them: "The quaking of the earth has overwhelmed you with fright. What will you do when it will quake before the day of judgement?" Then he put his hand on the earth and commanded it to cease quaking. It stopped to quake. He said: "Do you wonder at what has happened? I am he to whom the earth will speak on the day of judgement," and recited surah al Zilzal.
