Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 89:8
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
{ الَّتِي لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا } أي: مثل عاد { فِي الْبِلَادِ } أي: في جميع البلدان [في القوة والشدة]، كما قال لهم نبيهم هود عليه السلام: { وَاذْكُرُوا إِذْ جَعَلَكُمْ خُلَفَاءَ مِنْ بَعْدِ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَزَادَكُمْ فِي الْخَلْقِ بَسْطَةً فَاذْكُرُوا آلَاءَ اللَّهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ } .
