Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 55:37
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic. This commentary explains ayahs 55:37-38 together.
{ فَإِذَا انْشَقَّتِ السَّمَاءُ } [أي] يوم القيامة من شدة الأهوال، وكثرة البلبال، وترادف الأوجال، فانخسفت شمسها وقمرها، وانتثرت نجومها، { فَكَانَتْ } من شدة الخوف والانزعاج { وَرْدَةً كَالدِّهَانِ } أي: كانت كالمهل والرصاص المذاب ونحوه
