Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 17:6
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
{ ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَا لَكُمُ الْكَرَّةَ عَلَيْهِمْ } أي: على هؤلاء الذين سلطوا عليكم فأجليتموهم من دياركم. { وَأَمْدَدْنَاكُمْ بِأَمْوَالٍ وَبَنِينَ } أي: أكثرنا أرزاقكم وكثرناكم وقويناكم عليهم، { وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ أَكْثَرَ نَفِيرًا } منهم وذلك بسبب إحسانكم وخضوعكم لله.
