And when the believers were on the path of the prophets in their desire for good and guidance to the way of salvation, and in not harboring malice towards anyone for an evil they have done or ignorance they have presented, He said to him, clearly stating the teaching after having hinted at it in what he mentioned about himself regarding what is obligatory upon him: "And if only when you entered your garden you had said" which indicates your entrusting the matter in it and in other things to Allah, the Exalted, as has been previously guided to in the verse "And do not say about anything..." [Al-Kahf: 23], leaving aside boasting about it, and being mindful that the One who granted it to you is capable of taking it away from you. This should lead you to monotheism and the absence of associating partners with Him. So do not rejoice in it or in anything else that perishes, for true joy should only be in what is secure from annihilation. "What Allah wills" means that to Him belongs all matters, whether present, past, or future. Therefore, He left it without an answer, not what others will will, nor what He wills, glorified is He. Then He explained that by saying, "There is no power" meaning for anyone over a garden or anything else "except by Allah" (p-63), meaning the One who is unique in perfection, having no partner. This word indicates the affirmation of power for Allah and the disavowal of the servant from it, and it serves as a reminder that no creature has any ability except by His decree. Thus, one should not fear anyone else, and it serves as a reminder of the invalidity of the philosophers' claim regarding the elements being effective by themselves.

And when he presented what is obligatory upon him regarding himself, alerting his companion, then what is obligatory upon him from the explicit guidance in a manner affirming that the entire matter belongs to Allah, and there is nothing for anyone else, he produced His saying: "If you see me" meaning, O you who boasts about what he has over me! "I" and when he mentioned the pronoun of separation, he mentioned the object of "see" second, saying: "less than you" and distinguished the little by saying: "wealth and children" meaning in terms of wealth and children, which are the most precious of a person's possessions.
