Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 47:37
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
{ إِنْ يَسْأَلْكُمُوهَا فَيُحْفِكُمْ تَبْخَلُوا وَيُخْرِجْ أَضْغَانَكُمْ } أي: ما في قلوبكم من الضغن، إذا طلب منكم ما تكرهون بذله.والدليل على أن الله لو طلب منكم أموالكم وأحفاكم بسؤالها، أنكم تمتنعون منها.
