Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 29:39
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
وكذلك قارون، وفرعون، وهامان، حين بعث اللّه إليهم موسى بن عمران، بالآيات البينات، والبراهين الساطعات، فلم ينقادوا، واستكبروا في الأرض، [على عباد اللّه فأذلوهم، وعلى الحق فردوه فلم يقدروا على النجاء حين نزلت بهم العقوبة] { وَمَا كَانُوا سَابِقِينَ } اللّه، ولا فائتين، بل سلموا واستسلموا.
