Tafsir Ibn Kathir on Al-A'raf 7:21

Surah Al-A'raf 7:21



ﲿ ﳀ ﳁ ﳂ ﳃ

And he swore [by Allah] to them, "Indeed, I am to you from among the sincere advisors."

وقاسمهما

And he Qasamahuma, swore to them both by Allah, saying,

إني لكما لمن الناصحين

"Verily, I am one of the sincere well-wishers for you both.'' for I was here before you and thus have better knowledge of this place. It is a fact that the believer in Allah might sometimes become the victim of deceit. Qatadah commented on this Ayah, "Shaytan swore by Allah, saying, `I was created before you, and I have better knowledge than you. Therefore, follow me and I will direct you.'''
