Arabic text of ayah

Yawma yukshafu 'an saqin wa yud'awna ila as-sujudi fa laa yastati'una

The day the shin will be laid bare and they will be called to prostrate but they will not be able to

The following is an excerpt of commentary on this ayah, from Tafsir Ibn Kathir:

The Day of Judgement and the horrors, earthquakes, trials, tests and great matters that will occur during it. Al-Bukhari recorded that Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri said that, "Our Lord will reveal His Shin, and every believing male and female will prostrate to Him. The only people who will remain standing are those who prostrated in the worldly life only to be seen and heard (showing off). This type of person will try to prostrate at that time, but his back will made to be one stiff plate (the bone will not bend or flex)." This Hadith was recorded in the Two Sahihs and other books from different routes of transmission with various wordings. It is a long Hadith that is very popular.
