Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 38:5
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
وذنبه -عندهم- أنه { أَجَعَلَ الْآلِهَةَ إِلَهًا وَاحِدًا } أى: كيف ينهى عن اتخاذ الشركاء والأنداد، ويأمر بإخلاص العبادة للّه وحده. { إِنَّ هَذَا } الذي جاء به { لَشَيْءٌ عُجَابٌ } أي: يقضي منه العجب لبطلانه وفساده.
