Tafsir Ibn Kathir on Fussilat 41:22

Surah Fussilat 41:22



ﱖ ﱗ ﱘ ﱙ ﱚ ﱛ ﱜ ﱝ ﱞ ﱟ ﱠ ﱡ ﱢ ﱣ ﱤ ﱥ ﱦ ﱧ ﱨ ﱩ

And you were not covering yourselves, lest your hearing testify against you or your sight or your skins, but you assumed that Allah does not know much of what you do.

وما كنتم تستترون أن يشهد عليكم سمعكم وﻻ أبصاركم وﻻ جلودكم

And you have not been hiding yourselves (in the world), lest your ears and your eyes and your skins should testify against you; means, their organs and skins will say to them, when they blame them for testifying against them, `you did not hide from us what you used to do, on the contrary, you openly committed disbelief and sin, and you claimed that you did not care, because you did not believe that Allah knew about all your deeds.' Allah says:

ولكن ظننتم أن الله ﻻ يعلم كثيرا مما تعملون
