Surah At-Takwir — 81:10

وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ

Wa izas suhufu nushirat

and when the scrolls are laid open,

Reflection

Scrolls spread open are what the objectors at 74:52 ask for, each man wanting pages handed to him in person, and the same two words return here as something that happens to everyone at once. Carrying the article elsewhere, at 87:18 and 20:133, the word names the earlier scriptures; here it names a person's own record. What was demanded as private proof arrives as a public one.
