تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

( وضل عنهم ما كانوا يدعون من قبل ) أي : ذهبوا فلم ينفعوهم ، ( وظنوا ما لهم من محيص ) أي : وظن المشركون يوم القيامة ، وهذا بمعنى اليقين ، ( ما لهم من محيص ) أي : لا محيد لهم عن عذاب الله ، كقوله تعالى : ( ورأى المجرمون النار فظنوا أنهم مواقعوها ولم يجدوا عنها مصرفا ) [ الكهف : 53 ] .
