تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

يقول تعالى مخبرا عن المشركين بالعناد والمكابرة للمحسوس : ( وإن يروا كسفا من السماء ساقطا يقولوا ) أي : عليهم يعذبون به ، لما صدقوا ولما أيقنوا ، بل يقولون : هذا ( سحاب مركوم ) أي : متراكم . وهذه كقوله تعالى : ( ولو فتحنا عليهم بابا من السماء فظلوا فيه يعرجون لقالوا إنما سكرت أبصارنا بل نحن قوم مسحورون ) [ الحجر : 14 ، 15 ] .
