Surah Saad Ayat 8 Tafsir (Commentry)



  • Tafseer-e-Naeemi (Ahmad Yaar Khan)
  • Ibn Kathir
  • Ala-Madudi

13. This is the envy of the infidels of Makkah on the Holy Prophet. We are so wealthy and firmly established, then why did Prophethood not come to us? It should be remembered that receiving Prophethood by the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم propagated a single God. If Prophethood was given to some wealthy person, then a person could have said that the success and splendor of Islam were achieved through monetary strength. Hence, this spread of Islam was due to its truth and not through any material power. 

14 That Sometimes they are calling the Holy Quraan to be poetry, sometimes as magic. Sometimes false.

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah Sad verse 8 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Sad ayat 4 which provides the complete commentary from verse 4 through 11.

(38:8) Has this Exhortation been sent down among us only to him, to the exclusion of all others?” Nay, they are in doubt regarding My Exhortation,[10] and are saying all this because they have not yet had any taste of My chastisement.

10. In other words Allah says: Muhammad, these people are not belying you but Me. As for your truthfulness, they had never doubted it before. Now that they are doubting it, it is because of My Admonition. Now that I have entrusted to you the mission of admonishing them, they have started doubting the truthfulness of the very person whose righteousness and piety they used to swear by. The same theme has also been discussed in (Surah Al-Anaam, Ayat 33) note 21 thereof.
