Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 49:16

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

{ قُلْ أَتُعَلِّمُونَ اللَّهَ بِدِينِكُمْ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَاللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ } وهذا شامل للأشياء كلها، التي من جملتها، ما في القلوب من الإيمان والكفران، والبر والفجور، فإنه تعالى، يعلم ذلك كله، ويجازي عليه، إن خيرًا فخير، وإن شرًا فشر.
