Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 89:15
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
يخبر تعالى عن طبيعة الإنسان من حيث هو، وأنه جاهل ظالم، لا علم له بالعواقب، يظن الحالة التي تقع فيه تستمر ولا تزول، ويظن أن إكرام الله في الدنيا وإنعامه عليه يدل على كرامته عنده وقربه منه.
