Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 49:5
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
فأدب العبد، عنوان عقله، وأن الله مريد به الخير، ولهذا قال: { وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ صَبَرُوا حَتَّى تَخْرُجَ إِلَيْهِمْ لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُمْ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ } أي: غفور لما صدر عن عباده من الذنوب، والإخلال بالآداب، رحيم بهم، حيث لم يعاجلهم بذنوبهم بالعقوبات والمثلات.
