Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 48:21

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

{ وَأُخْرَى } أي: وعدكم أيضا غنيمة أخرى { لَمْ تَقْدِرُوا عَلَيْهَا } وقت هذا الخطاب، { قَدْ أَحَاطَ اللَّهُ بِهَا } أي: هو قادر عليها، وتحت تدبيره وملكه، وقد وعدكموها، فلا بد من وقوع ما وعد به، لكمال اقتدار الله تعالى، ولهذا قال: { وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرًا }
