تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

ثم قال : ( أن تقول نفس يا حسرتى على ما فرطت في جنب الله ) أي : يوم القيامة يتحسر المجرم المفرط في التوبة والإنابة ، ويود لو كان من المحسنين المخلصين المطيعين لله - عز وجل - .

وقوله : ( وإن كنت لمن الساخرين ) أي : إنما كان عملي في الدنيا عمل ساخر مستهزئ غير موقن مصدق .
