And when He, glorified and exalted is He, established the proofs of His greatness, which include His oneness, and removed the doubts and erased the uncertainties, and reminded with various kinds of kindness and goodness, until He concluded the two verses with what He mentioned of His guardianship and the enmity of the misleader away from His path, He caused this by His saying: "So if you slip" indicating with the tool of doubt that they have reached a state of clarity of the wide, possible, trustworthy, straight, and peaceful path, from which it is very distant that they would slip away. And for this reason, He said: "After the clear signs have come to you" meaning by this book in which there is no doubt.

Al-Harali said: The clear signs are the testimonies of experience and news of what has passed, and confirmation of what has occurred. And he said: The expression that implies that they are slipping, and the expression in the past indicates a return from it, as a mercy from Allah to them, like His mercy before to their parents when the devil caused them to slip. Just as he caused their parents to slip in Paradise from the forbidden tree, he caused them in this world to slip from the forbidden trees of blood, wealth, and honor - this has ended.

And when fear compels adherence to the path of safety, He said: "So know" for indeed knowledge is the greatest aid to achieving the objectives. "That Allah" who encompasses the attributes of perfection, "is Exalted" and cannot be incapacitated by anyone who slips, nor can anyone who goes astray escape Him. "Wise" He decrees what no one is able to nullify anything of it.
