تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

ثم قال : ( ما خلقنا السموات والأرض وما بينهما إلا بالحق ) أي : لا على وجه العبث والباطل ، ( وأجل مسمى ) أي : إلى مدة معينة مضروبة لا تزيد ولا تنقص .

قوله : ( والذين كفروا عما أنذروا معرضون ) أي : لاهون عما يراد بهم ، وقد أنزل إليهم كتابا وأرسل إليهم رسول ، وهم معرضون عن ذلك كله ، أي : وسيعلمون غب ذلك .
