'So his Lord answered him.' This means that the Benefactor created for him a great creation in response to his supplication, which is included in this praise. This is because the Generous is sufficient with a hint rather than a statement, as it is said: When a person praises you one day, it is enough for him to allude to the praise. And He, glorified and exalted is He, did this out of honor for him and to fulfill what He had previously promised in His saying: 'Thus We turn away from him the evil.' [Yusuf: 24] The verse 'So He turned away their plot from him' is then explained by His saying: 'Indeed, He is the Hearing' which means of the words, 'the Knowing' of the intentions and thoughts. So He answers what is correct in intention and pure in determination.
