Commentary

'And when' that was an astonishing matter, He magnified it by saying: 'Indeed, in that' meaning: the great matter of supplication and delay, then salvation and destruction 'is a sign' meaning: great for whoever witnessed that or heard of it. This is on the condition that we take vengeance on those who disobeyed us, and we save those who obeyed us. And that 'there is no' matter for anyone with us that guides him to faith and carries him to submission and compliance 'and what' meaning: while it is the case that 'most of them' meaning: most of those knowledgeable about that 'were not believers.' And it is appropriate for them, since faith has escaped them due to the clear evidence, to hasten to it and join with it when they saw the beginnings of the punishment or after the drowning had overwhelmed them.
