And when the act of a person committing injustice is astonishing, then if he bears witness against himself with injustice, it is even more astonishing. He means by saying this to emphasize what most of creation does before resurrection and accountability, which is the denial of their ingratitude: "And indeed, he" meaning the human being "is certainly a witness to that" meaning the great ingratitude, where he has taken the step of opposing the greatest, most gracious King while being ungrateful for His kindness. He is a witness because he acknowledges when confronted that all that he has in terms of the kindness of his Lord and that his Lord has prohibited him from opposition, or that there is no matter for him [from Him] regarding what he has done. And that it is not appropriate for a wise person to act in a manner that the King, whom he serves, might dislike, and he has nothing except from Him without His permission. And that if he acts otherwise, he is ungrateful for His kindness and deserving of His punishment, unable to deny any of it.
