And when He, glorified and exalted is He, informed about the completeness of the loss which is the end of ruin, and the most difficult thing for a person is to violate what protects him from his honor. So much so that he would give his soul for that, especially the Arabs, for no one can match them in this. He increased the humiliation by mentioning those who protect it, expressing it in the most disgraceful form and the ugliest of it.
