And when Allah, glorified and exalted is He, is at the thought of His servant about Him, He hears his supplication as He said, "So she called to him," meaning that it was caused by his supplication and good hope that "the angels called to him." This refers to this type, not all of them, but some called to him. He was prepared with what Allah, glorified and exalted is He, had given him of grace for the calling of all, as is the case with the people of perfection among the messengers. "And he was standing praying in the mihrab," which is the place of the worshipper's struggle against the devil, and it is the noblest of places for that. Al-Harali said: This indicates the speed of His response and His adherence to His seclusion and his standing in prayer, and that the predominant aspect of his prayer is standing because prayer consists of standing, and prostration corresponds to it, and bowing is in between. Thus, his prayer was mentioned with standing indicating that the ruling of standing predominates over it. Then he resumed reading Hamzah and Ibn 'Amir with the kasrah in response to one who might have said: With what did the angels call to him? His saying: "That Allah gives you good tidings". Al-Harali said: He mentioned the greatest name encompassing its meaning with all the meanings of the names, and he did not say that your Lord, when it came to His response, was beyond ordinary wisdom; and in His saying: "With Yahya" there is a designation with the form of permanence - although it was said: He was killed - indicating the fulfillment of the reality of the spiritual life in him always, and that he is not affected by the occurrence of the death of the apparent where he was killed as a martyr.

"Confirming a word" means a prophet created by the word, not by ordinary treatment. Allah, glorified and exalted is He, sends him to His servants, and most of them deny him while he believes in him. The general term "the word" applied to him is from the application of the cause to the caused.

Al-Harali said: So 'Isa, blessings and peace be upon him, was the word of Allah, glorified and exalted is He, and Yahya confirmed him with what is from him, the perfection of His word, until they are in one heaven. Thus, in His saying: "From Allah" there is an indication of His encompassing nature in the essence of the word. End of quote.

"And a leader and chaste" means he does not adorn himself with adornment because he is one who has restrained himself and confined himself from marriage. He said in the dictionary: The chaste is one who does not approach women while he is able to do so, or is prevented from them, or one who does not desire them nor approaches them, and the one who is castrated - and the one who is shy refrains from something. Al-Harali said: It is from restriction, which is the prevention of what is customary for something to be used in it. End of quote. "And a prophet" and when the prophet can only be righteous, he did not add but said: "From the righteous" indicating the virtue of the rank of righteousness and cautioning against the false prophets.
