Tafsir Ibn Kathir on Saba' 34:8

Surah Saba' 34:8



ﱁ ﱂ ﱃ ﱄ ﱅ ﱆ ﱇ ﱈ ﱉ ﱊ ﱋ ﱌ ﱍ ﱎ ﱏ ﱐ ﱑ

Has he invented about Allah a lie or is there in him madness?" Rather, they who do not believe in the Hereafter will be in the punishment and [are in] extreme error.

أفترى على الله كذبا أم به جنة

Has he invented a lie against Allah, or is there a madness in him! Allah said, refuting their words:

بل الذين ﻻ يومنون باﻻخرة في العذاب والضﻼل البعيد

Nay, but those who disbelieve in the Hereafter are (themselves) in a torment, and in far error. meaning, the matter is not as they claim or as they think; on the contrary, Muhammad is the one who is telling the truth, and is righteous and wise; he is the one who has brought the truth, and they are the foolish and ignorant liars.

في العذاب

are (themselves) in a torment, means, their disbelief, which will lead them to the torment of Allah.

والضﻼل البعيد

and in far error. i.e. far from the truth in this world. Then Allah warns them of His power in the creation of heavens and earth, as He says:
