Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 54:5
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
{ حِكْمَةٌ } منه تعالى { بَالِغَةٌ } أي: لتقوم حجته على المخالفين ولا يبقى لأحد على الله حجة بعد الرسل، { فَمَا تُغْنِ النُّذُرُ } كقوله تعالى: { وَلَوْ جَاءَتْهُمْ كُلُّ آيَةٍ لا يؤمنوا حَتَّى يَرَوُا الْعَذَابَ الْأَلِيمَ }
