Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
(Ye did not hide yourselves) you will not be able to prevent your limbs (lest your ears and your eyes and your skins should testify against you) in the Hereafter; it is also said that this means: you were not able in the life of this world to hide from some limbs what other limbs earned, such that they do not testify against you; and it is also said that this means: you were not sure that your ears, eyes and skins would testify against you in the Hereafter, (but ye deemed) but you said (that Allah knew not much of what ye did) and said in private.
