Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 41:22
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
{ وَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَتِرُونَ أَنْ يَشْهَدَ عَلَيْكُمْ سَمْعُكُمْ وَلَا أَبْصَارُكُمْ وَلَا جُلُودُكُمْ } أي: وما كنتم تختفون عن شهادة أعضائكم عليكم، ولا تحاذرون من ذلك. { وَلَكِنْ ظَنَنْتُمْ } بإقدامكم على المعاصي { أَنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَعْلَمُ كَثِيرًا مِمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ } فلذلك صدر منكم ما صدر، وهذا الظن، صار سبب هلاكهم وشقائهم .
