Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 37:148
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
{ فَآمَنُوا } فصاروا في موازينه، لأنه الداعي لهم.{ فَمَتَّعْنَاهُمْ إِلَى حِينٍ } بأن صرف اللّه عنهم العذاب بعدما انعقدت أسبابه، قال تعالى: { فَلَوْلَا كَانَتْ قَرْيَةٌ آمَنَتْ فَنَفَعَهَا إِيمَانُهَا إِلَّا قَوْمَ يُونُسَ لَمَّا آمَنُوا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمْ عَذَابَ الْخِزْيِ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَمَتَّعْنَاهُمْ إِلَى حِينٍ }
