Commentary

She said: And when it was upon the utmost of beauty, good qualities, and perfection, it was such that it was extremely unlikely to seek refuge from it. She confirmed and said: "Indeed, I seek refuge with the Most Gracious." My Lord, whose mercy is general for all His servants in this world and the Hereafter, and He has a particularity with us in bestowing mercy and completing blessings. "From You." And when she discerned in him - by what Allah illuminated her insight and purified her inner self - piety, she ignited and stirred him to act upon the meaning of this seeking refuge by saying: "If you are truly pious."
