Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 55:4
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
وميزه على سائر الحيوانات بأن { عَلَّمَهُ الْبَيَانَ } أي: التبيين عما في ضميره، وهذا شامل للتعليم النطقي والتعليم الخطي، فالبيان الذي ميز الله به الآدمي على غيره من أجل نعمه، وأكبرها عليه.
