Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
{ وَقَالُوا } وهم في النار { مَا لَنَا لَا نَرَى رِجَالًا كُنَّا نَعُدُّهُمْ مِنَ الْأَشْرَارِ } أي: كنا نزعم أنهم من الأشرار، المستحقين لعذاب النار، وهم المؤمنون، تفقدهم أهل النار - قبحهم اللّه - هل يرونهم في النار؟
