Commentary
And they fall down; when they repeatedly hear it; to their chins; along with their prostration; they weep and the repetition increases them; in humility; that is: in submission; and in modesty; and in devotion. If your question to them is to believe when they inform you that I am on the truth; then believe. And if it is for other than that, then your foolishness has become clear; and the weakness of your matter; and the badness of your opinion. And he expressed weeping with the action; indicating its renewal at certain times; due to what they have in some of it from joy in some of what has been permitted of pleasures; and in prostration by name; indicating the continuity of their humility in the prescribed prostration; or in absolute submission; and there will come in the chapter of 'Mary' what makes it clearer.
