Flee not, but return to the good things of this life which were given you, and to your homes in order that ye may be called to account.

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

( لا تركضوا وارجعوا إلى ما أترفتم فيه ومساكنكم ) هذا تهكم بهم قدرا أي : قيل لهم قدرا : لا تركضوا هاربين من نزول العذاب ، وارجعوا إلى ما كنتم فيه من النعمة والسرور ، والمعيشة والمساكن الطيبة .

قال قتادة : استهزاء بهم .

( لعلكم تسألون ) أي : عما كنتم فيه من أداء شكر النعمة .
