Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 24:14
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
{ وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ } بحيث شملكم إحسانه فيهما، في أمر دينكم ودنياكم، { لَمَسَّكُمْ فِيمَا أَفَضْتُمْ } أي: خضتم { فِيهِ } من شأن الإفك { عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ } لاستحقاقكم ذلك بما قلتم، ولكن من فضل الله عليكم ورحمته، أن شرع لكم التوبة، وجعل العقوبة مطهرة للذنوب.
