Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 16:99
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
فإن الشيطان { لَيْسَ لَهُ سُلْطَانٌ } أي: تسلط { عَلَى الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَلَى رَبِّهِمْ } وحده لا شريك له { يَتَوَكَّلُونَ } فيدفع الله عن المؤمنين المتوكلين عليه شر الشيطان ولا يبق له عليهم سبيل.
