Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 48:12
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
فظنوا { أَنْ لَنْ يَنْقَلِبَ الرَّسُولُ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِلَى أَهْلِيهِمْ أَبَدًا } أي: إنهم سيقتلون ويستأصلون، ولم يزل هذا الظن يزين في قلوبهم، ويطمئنون إليه، حتى استحكم، وسبب ذلك أمران:أحدها: أنهم كانوا { قَوْمًا بُورًا } أي: هلكى، لا خير فيهم، فلو كان فيهم خير لم يكن هذا في قلوبهم.
