تفسير القرآن Al-Samʿānī

قَوْله تَعَالَى: ﴿أَو لم يَسِيرُوا فِي الأَرْض فينظروا كَيفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَة الَّذين من قبلهم كَانُوا هم أَشد مِنْهُم قُوَّة وآثارا فِي الأَرْض﴾ الْآثَار فِي الأَرْض: هُوَ الْأَبْنِيَة والمساكن وَسَائِر العمارات.

وَقَوله: ﴿فَأَخذهُم الله بِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُم من الله من واق﴾ أَي: لم يكن لَهُم من يمنعهُم من الله.

Indeed, Allah does not guide one who is a transgressor and a liar.
