Commentary
And when it was as if it were said: Yes, inform us! He said: "It descends" in a manner of gradualness and hesitation "upon every liar" meaning: one who diverts - in the sense of abundance and exaggeration - matters from their rightful places with lies and slander, and deceit and aggression, among the group of the soothsayers and the followers of the jinn. "Sinful" is one who commits sins to the utmost of his effort, and these are the sinful.
