Commentary

Then he clarified the time of its occurrence and the time of its hastening by saying: ﴿When﴾ meaning your touching at the time of ﴿you receive it﴾ meaning you strive to receive, meaning to accept this disgraceful speech and to convey it ﴿with your tongues﴾ by spreading it among some and questioning others and the silence of others. ﴿And you say﴾ and His saying: ﴿with your mouths﴾ is a depiction of its greater ugliness, and an indication that it is a saying that has no reality to it, so it cannot be engraved in the heart by any kind of proof; and he emphasized this meaning by saying: ﴿What you have no knowledge of﴾ meaning in any way, and its indefinite form is for belittlement. ﴿And you think it﴾ by the evidence of your silence about denying it ﴿is easy, while it is﴾ meaning while it is ﴿with Allah﴾ meaning the One whose greatness no one can measure ﴿great﴾ meaning in the essence of itself, even if it were outside of the Mother of the Believers, may Allah be pleased with her. So how about it being in her protected presence, as she is the wife of the Seal of the Prophets and the Imam of the Messengers, blessings and peace be upon him.
