Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 33:8
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
وسيسأل اللّه الأنبياء وأتباعهم، عن هذا العهد الغليظ هل وفوا فيه، وصدقوا؟ فيثيبهم جنات النعيم؟ أم كفروا، فيعذبهم العذاب الأليم؟ قال تعالى: { مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ }
