تفسير ابن كثير — Tafsīr Ibn Kathīr (Arabic)
فقالوا : ( لو كنا نسمع أو نعقل ما كنا في أصحاب السعير ) أي : لو كانت لنا عقول ننتفع بها أو نسمع ما أنزله الله من الحق ، لما كنا على ما كنا عليه من الكفر بالله والاغترار به ، ولكن لم يكن لنا فهم نعي به ما جاءت به الرسل ، ولا كان لنا عقل يرشدنا إلى اتباعهم ،
