Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 34:32
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
{ قَالَ الَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُوا لِلَّذِينَ اسْتُضْعِفُوا } مستفهمين لهم ومخبرين أن الجميع مشتركون في الجرم: { أَنَحْنُ صَدَدْنَاكُمْ عَنِ الْهُدَى بَعْدَ إِذْ جَاءَكُمْ } أي: بقوتنا وقهرنا لكم. { بَلْ كُنْتُمْ مُجْرِمِينَ } أي: مختارين للإجرام, لستم مقهورين عليه, وإن كنا قد زينا لكم, فما كان لنا عليكم من سلطان.
