Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 105:5
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
وصاروا كعصف مأكول، وكفى الله شرهم، ورد كيدهم في نحورهم، [وقصتهم معروفة مشهورة] وكانت تلك السنة التي ولد فيها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فصارت من جملة إرهاصات دعوته، ومقدمات رسالته، فلله الحمد والشكر.
