Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 56:84
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic. This commentary explains ayahs 56:83-85 together.
{ فَلَوْلَا إِذَا بَلَغَتِ الْحُلْقُومَ وَأَنْتُمْ حِينَئِذٍ تَنْظُرُونَ وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْكُمْ وَلَكِنْ لَا تُبْصِرُونَ } أي: فهلا إذا بلغت الروح الحلقوم، وأنتم تنظرون المحتضر في هذه الحالة، والحال أنا نحن أقرب إليه منكم، بعلمنا وملائكتنا، ولكن لا تبصرون.
