And when the result of what has passed is disagreement, misguidance, and retribution, it is as if it was said: 'So clarify for them; and frighten them; so that they may return; for indeed, We have not sent you except for that.' ﴿And We did not send down﴾; meaning: with what We have of greatness; in terms of exaltation; ﴿to you the Book﴾; meaning: the one that encompasses all guidance; and when it was in the context of calling and clarification, He expressed what necessitates obligation; so He said: ﴿except to clarify﴾; meaning: the purpose of clarification; ﴿for them﴾; meaning: for those to whom you were sent; and they are all of creation; ﴿that they differed concerning﴾; in all matters; in religion and worldly affairs; due to your having greater knowledge than them; and sharper understanding; and He emphasized the place of 'to clarify'; what is the action of the One who sends down; so He said (glorified and exalted is He): ﴿and guidance﴾; meaning: a clear clarification; ﴿and mercy﴾; meaning: and honor with love.

And when that perhaps included them; while they are upon their misguidance; He negated it by His saying (glorified and exalted is He): ﴿for a people who believe﴾; and clarification is a meaning that leads to knowledge of a thing; distinct from others; and it may be about the meaning itself; and it may be about its correctness; and the proof can only be about its correctness; for it is more specific; and disagreement is each one's departure to a different direction than that of his companion; and guidance is the clarification of the path of knowledge leading to the truth.
