Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 54:37
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic. This commentary explains ayahs 54:36-37 together.
فكذبوه واستمروا على شركهم وقبائحهم، حتى إن الملائكة الذين جاءوه بصورة أضياف حين سمع بهم قوم لوط، جاؤوهم مسرعين، يريدون إيقاع الفاحشة فيهم، لعنهم الله وقبحهم، وراودوه عنهم، فأمر الله جبريل عليه السلام، فطمس أعينهم بجناحه، وأنذرهم نبيهم بطشة الله وعقوبته { فَتَمَارَوْا بِالنُّذُرِ }
