And when he mentioned what is between them and the creation in terms of saying and action, and the predominant aspect of that is to be in public during the day, he mentioned what is between them and their Creator in that it is in private at night. He mentioned these conjunctions that are attributes with the conjunction 'and', as a reminder that each one of them is independent in its purpose due to the great danger of it and the significant effect of it. He said: 'And those who spend the night...' from 'baytutah': that the night overtakes you whether you sleep or do not sleep, and it is the opposite of being in the light; and it indicates specificity by presenting 'for their Lord', meaning the One who is gracious to them with His mercy. They spend the night in worship as a mercy for themselves and as gratitude for His grace.
