Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 33:26
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
{ وَأَنْزَلَ الَّذِينَ ظَاهَرُوهُمْ } أي عاونوهم { مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ } أي: اليهود { مِنْ صَيَاصِيهِمْ } أي: أنزلهم من حصونهم، نزولاً مظفورًا بهم، مجعولين تحت حكم الإسلام.{ وَقَذَفَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ الرُّعْبَ } فلم يقووا على القتال، بل استسلموا وخضعوا وذلوا. { فَرِيقًا تَقْتُلُونَ } وهم الرجال المقاتلون { وَتَأْسِرُونَ فَرِيقًا } مَنْ عداهم من النساء والصبيان.
