Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 16:23
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
{ لَا جَرَمَ } أي: حقا لا بد { أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ } من الأعمال القبيحة { إِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُسْتَكْبِرِينَ } بل يبغضهم أشد البغض، وسيجازيهم من جنس عملهم { إن الذين يستكبرون عن عبادتي سيدخلون جهنم داخرين }
