Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 53:39
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic. This commentary explains ayahs 53:38-39 together.
وفي تلك الصحف أحكام كثيرة من أهمها ما ذكره الله بقوله: { أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَى وَأَنْ لَيْسَ لِلْإِنْسَانِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَى } أي: كل عامل له عمله الحسن والسيئ، فليس له من عمل غيره وسعيهم شيء، ولا يتحمل أحد عن أحد ذنبا
