Qur'an 39:51

فَأَصَابَهُمْ سَيِّئَاتُ مَا كَسَبُوا ۚ وَالَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْ هَٰؤُلَاءِ سَيُصِيبُهُمْ سَيِّئَاتُ مَا كَسَبُوا وَمَا هُمْ بِمُعْجِزِينَ٥١

But the evils that they earned smote them; and such of these as do wrong, the evils that they earn will smite them; they cannot escape.

Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 39:51

Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.

{ فَأَصَابَهُمْ سَيِّئَاتُ مَا كَسَبُوا } والسيئات في هذا الموضع: العقوبات، لأنها تسوء الإنسان وتحزنه. { وَالَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا من هؤلاء سَيُصِيبُهُمْ سَيِّئَاتُ مَا كَسَبُوا } فليسوا خيرا من أولئك، ولم يكتب لهم براءة في الزبر.
