تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

( أفترى على الله كذبا أم به جنة ) ؟ قال الله تعالى رادا عليهم : ( بل الذين لا يؤمنون بالآخرة في العذاب والضلال البعيد ) أي : ليس الأمر كما زعموا ولا كما ذهبوا إليه ، بل محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم هو الصادق البار الراشد الذي جاء بالحق ، وهم الكذبة الجهلة الأغبياء ، ( في العذاب ) أي : [ في ] الكفر المفضي بهم إلى عذاب الله ، ( والضلال البعيد ) من الحق في الدنيا .
