Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 17:19
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
{ وَمَنْ أَرَادَ الْآخِرَةَ } فرضيها وآثرها على الدنيا { وَسَعَى لَهَا سَعْيَهَا } الذي دعت إليه الكتب السماوية والآثار النبوية فعمل بذلك على قدر إمكانه { وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ } بالله وملائكته وكتبه ورسله واليوم الآخر. { فَأُولَئِكَ كَانَ سَعْيُهُمْ مَشْكُورًا } أي: مقبولا منمى مدخرا لهم أجرهم وثوابهم عند ربهم.
