Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 16:34
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
{ فَأَصَابَهُمْ سَيِّئَاتُ مَا عَمِلُوا ْ} أي: عقوبات أعمالهم وآثارها، { وَحَاقَ بِهِمْ ْ} أي: نزل { مَا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ ْ} فإنهم كانوا إذا أخبرتهم رسلهم بالعذاب استهزأوا به، وسخروا ممن أخبر به فحل بهم ذلك الأمر الذي سخروا منه.
