Commentary
And when the reality of the denial is what goes beyond the usual forms; and it was not in the manner of its like; they turned away from his saying; and their response was that they said: 'Indeed, we are not denying'; because we have come to you; to relieve you; because of the occurrence of what they were; meaning: by nature and disposition; in it they doubt; by what our custom has been that we come with something like it from the punishment; which they were greatly doubting; they carry their souls upon it; and they deny it; and the ignorant is described by doubt; even if he is a denier in regard to what is presented to him of it; in that he does not return to trust in what he is upon.
