Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 37:169
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic. This commentary explains ayahs 37:167-169 together.
يخبر تعالى أن هؤلاء المشركين، يظهرون التمني، ويقولون: لو جاءنا من الذكر والكتب، ما جاء الأولين، لأخلصنا للّه العبادة، بل لكنا المخلصين على الحقيقة.
