Commentary

And when the Qur'an, which He mentioned in the verse "Establish the prayer," is the greatest cause for the vanquishing of falsehood, which is like magic, an illusion and deception; and it is the gathering of all that has passed from the divine matters, and resurrection, and what follows that. He said, adding to "And We have honored": ﴿And We send down﴾; meaning: by Our greatness; then He clarified what is sent down by His saying (glorified and exalted is He): ﴿From the Qur'an﴾; meaning: the gathering, the differentiating, which is the most rightful of the truth; ﴿It is a healing﴾; for the hearts and the bodies; ﴿And a mercy﴾; meaning: honor and strength; ﴿For the believers﴾; meaning: those firmly rooted in faith; to illuminate their hearts from the rust of ignorance; and to guide them on the path of righteousness, which is the cause of mercy; and to protect them from every devil, disease, and trial; if the truth is established in seeking healing through it; all of it is like that; and so are all its parts. Al-Razi said in the Lawa'ih: It is the comfort of the lovers and the solace of the yearning; and indeed it is the clear light, which whoever (p-498) gains insight through it, the truths that were hidden become revealed to him; and the calamities that were exposed to him become concealed; just as falsehood is a disease and a punishment for the disbelievers; and it is one of the most astonishing wonders that this healing "does not increase the wrongdoers"; meaning: those firmly rooted in this description; and they are those who place things in the wrong place by turning away from what should be accepted; ﴿Except for loss﴾; meaning: deficiency; because when it comes to them, and the proof is established against them, they turn away from it; thus their turning away is an increase in their disbelief; just as the acceptance of the believers of it, and their eagerness to contemplate it, is an increase in their faith; and in Al-Darimi from Qatadah, he said: "No one sat with the Qur'an and then stood up from it except with an increase or a decrease"; then he recited this verse.
