تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

وقوله : ( ذرهم يأكلوا ويتمتعوا ) تهديد لهم شديد ، ووعيد أكيد ، كقوله تعالى : ( قل تمتعوا فإن مصيركم إلى النار ) [ إبراهيم : 30 ] وقوله : ( كلوا وتمتعوا قليلا إنكم مجرمون ) [ المرسلات : 46 ] ولهذا قال : ( ويلههم الأمل ) أي : عن التوبة والإنابة ، ( فسوف يعلمون ) أي : عاقبة أمرهم .
