Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 38:36
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic. This commentary explains ayahs 38:35-38 together.
فـ { قَالَ رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَهَبْ لِي مُلْكًا لَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِي إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ } فاستجاب اللّه له وغفر له، ورد عليه ملكه، وزاده ملكا لم يحصل لأحد من بعده، وهو تسخير الشياطين له، يبنون ما يريد، ويغوصون له في البحر، يستخرجون الدر والحلي، ومن عصاه منهم قرنه في الأصفاد وأوثقه.
