Commentary
'Indeed, we have been inspired by our Lord that the punishment, meaning all of it, is for those who deny and turn away. This implies that if there is anything from him that is credible, it would have ended. And when it ends, it is as if it never existed. In directing the speech away from him, there is a reminder that he is misguided and a denier, and it serves as a teaching for etiquette.
