Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 52:30
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
وتارة { يَقُولُونَ } فيه: إنه { شَاعِرٌ } يقول الشعر، والذي جاء به شعر،والله يقول: { وَمَا عَلَّمْنَاهُ الشِّعْرَ وَمَا يَنْبَغِي لَهُ } { نَتَرَبَّصُ بِهِ رَيْبَ الْمَنُونِ } أي: ننتظر به الموت فسيبطل أمره، [ونستريح منه].
