Then he explained that by saying: "Indeed, the wasteful"; meaning: by nature and disposition; "they were"; meaning: they are firmly established in it; "brothers of the devils"; meaning: all of them; those who are far from mercy; burning in the curse; for their action is the action of fire, which is predominant over their parts; and it burns whatever it reaches; for benefit and for non-benefit; so if they do not find, they take what does not belong to them; and the Arabs say to everyone who adheres to the custom of a people and follows their command: "He is their brother."

And when moderation is more conducive to gratitude, and wastefulness leads to disbelief, Allah, the Exalted, said: "And the devil"; meaning: this kind that is far from all good; burning with all evil; "to his Lord"; meaning: the One who has been good to him by creating him and nurturing him; "is ungrateful"; meaning: he is ungrateful for what he is able to conceal of His manifest signs and His magnificent blessings, along with the proof.
