Tafseer Ibn Kathir

Chastising Those Who say what They do not do

We mentioned in many a places before the meaning of Allah's statement,

سَبَّحَ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الاَْرْضِ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ




Whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is on the earth glorifies Allah. And He is the Almighty, the All-Wise.

Therefore, we do not need to repeat its meaning here.

Allah's statement,

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ اَمَنُوا لِمَ تَقُولُونَ مَا لَاا تَفْعَلُونَ
