Commentary

And when he mentioned their emergence [to him], he mentioned their state in that emergence and said: "And you will see the criminals" [meaning] and you will see them. However, he [Allah] made evident their multiple attributes which necessitated for them disgrace; and criminality is cutting off what is permissible from action by doing what is not permissible.
