The question

Is Al-Qurtubi's interpretation of the verse: (And We said after him to the Children of Israel, "Dwell in the land, and when the promise of the Hereafter comes, We will bring you forth in a vast assemblage") that "the Hereafter" refers to the Day of Resurrection and "We will bring you forth in a vast assemblage" means the bringing out from graves and the gathering of believers and others, correct, and is it attributed to him?

The answer

The verses in Surat Al-Isra (101-104) mention the nine signs that Moses was given, and the drowning of Pharaoh and his people. And Allah’s saying: (And We said to the Children of Israel after him, “Dwell in the land, and when the promise of the Hereafter comes, We will bring you forth in a mixed multitude.”) means enabling the Children of Israel to dwell in the land after the destruction of Pharaoh, and that “the promise of the Hereafter” is the Day of Judgment, and “in a mixed multitude” means that people will be gathered together, believers and disbelievers, mixed and not recognizing one another. This interpretation is the opinion of the majority of exegetes, and there is no disagreement on it, and the deduction by some contemporaries from this verse regarding the gathering of Jews in the Holy Land in our current time is questionable.
