Tafsir

Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

Saba 34:32

Word by word

قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ لِلَّذِينَ ٱسْتُضْعِفُوٓا۟ أَنَحْنُ صَدَدْنَـٰكُمْ عَنِ ٱلْهُدَىٰ بَعْدَ إِذْ جَآءَكُم ۖ بَلْ كُنتُم مُّجْرِمِينَ

Those who were arrogant will say to those who were oppressed, "Did we avert you from guidance after it had come to you? Rather, you were criminals."

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

فقال لهم القادة والسادة ، وهم الذين استكبروا : ( أنحن صددناكم عن الهدى بعد إذ جاءكم ) أي : نحن ما فعلنا بكم أكثر من أنا دعوناكم فاتبعتمونا من غير دليل ولا برهان ، وخالفتم الأدلة والبراهين والحجج التي جاءت بها الأنبياء ، لشهوتكم واختياركم لذلك; ولهذا قالوا : ( بل كنتم مجرمين )
