Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 24:57
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
{ لَا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مُعْجِزِينَ فِي الْأَرْضِ } فلا يغررك ما متعوا به في الحياة الدنيا، فإن الله، وإن أمهلهم فإنه لا يهملهم { نُمَتِّعُهُمْ قَلِيلًا ثُمَّ نَضْطَرُّهُمْ إِلَى عَذَابٍ غَلِيظٍ } ولهذا قال هنا: { وَمَأْوَاهُمُ النَّارُ وَلَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ } أي: بئس المآل، مآل الكافرين، مآل الشر والحسرة والعقوبة الأبدية.
