Surah As Saffat Tafseer

It was you who used to come to us from the right side.

Ad-Dahhak reported that Ibn Abbas said;

"They will say, `You used to force us because of your position of power over us, for we were weak and you were strong."'

Qatadah said,

"Men will say to the Jinn, `You used to come to us from the right side to block every good deed, and you told us not to do it and you tried to put obstacles in our way."'

As-Suddi said,

"`You used to come to us to block the truth, and you made falsehood look attractive to us, and you prevented us from seeing the truth."

Ibn Zayd said, it means:

"`You stood in the way between us and goodness, and you repelled us from Islam and faith and doing the good deeds that we had been commanded to do."

Yazid Ar-Rishk said,

"from La ilaha illallah."
