Commentary
And when the context clearly guided that the meaning is: 'So take your drink and leave her drink,' he added to it his saying: 'And do not touch her with evil,' meaning: whatever it may be, even if it is little. This is because what comes from Allah must be honored, observed, and respected. Then he warned them about what would result from their disobedience, saying: 'So He will take you,' meaning: He will destroy you, 'the punishment of a great day' due to the punishment that befalls it. This is more expressive than describing the punishment as great.
