Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 38:2
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
فهدى اللّه من هدى لهذا، وأبى الكافرون به وبمن أنزله، وصار معهم { عِزَّةٍ وَشِقَاقٍ } عزة وامتناع عن الإيمان به، واستكبار وشقاق له، أي: مشاقة ومخاصمة في رده وإبطاله، وفي القدح بمن جاء به.
