تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

وقوله : ( يود المجرم لو يفتدي من عذاب يومئذ ببنيه وصاحبته وأخيه وفصيلته التي تؤويه ومن في الأرض جميعا ثم ينجيه كلا ) أي : لا يقبل منه فداء ولو جاء بأهل الأرض ، وبأعز ما يجده من المال ، ولو بملء الأرض ذهبا ، أو من ولده الذي كان في الدنيا حشاشة كبده ، يود يوم القيامة إذا رأى الأهوال أن يفتدي من عذاب الله به ، ولا يقبل منه .
