Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.
قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ لِمَ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ بِٱلسَّيِّئَةِ قَبْلَ ٱلْحَسَنَةِ ۖ لَوْلَا تَسْتَغْفِرُونَ ٱللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ
He said, "O my people, why are you impatient for evil before [i.e., instead of] good? Why do you not seek forgiveness of Allāh that you may receive mercy?"
( قال يا قوم لم تستعجلون بالسيئة قبل الحسنة ) ، أي : لم تدعون بحضور العذاب ، ولا تطلبون من الله رحمته ؟ ولهذا قال : ( لولا تستغفرون الله لعلكم ترحمون)
