And when the eternal knowledge was established that the disputants regarding the matter of Jesus, blessings and peace be upon him, would refrain from the mutual invocation after the debate, out of fear of being eradicated in this world along with the everlasting disgrace in the Hereafter, and their refraining from that necessitated the cutting off of their claims for everyone who witnesses them or receives news of them, it was fitting to follow that with His saying: - as a reminder of the greatness contained therein - ﴿Indeed, this﴾ meaning what has been previously mentioned regarding the matter of Jesus, blessings and peace be upon him, and others ﴿is indeed﴾ meaning specifically, without others that oppose it ﴿the true narrative﴾ and the narrative - as al-Harali said - is the following of events by reporting about them one after another in their order, in the meaning of narrating the trace, which is to follow it until it reaches the place of the trace. It has ended.

And when glorified and exalted is He began the story at the beginning of the surah by informing of His oneness, proving that by stating that He is the Living, the Sustainer, He concluded it similarly as a hint and indication. He said - adding to what has been produced from the previous mention that Jesus, blessings and peace be upon him, is the servant of Allah and His Messenger, generalizing the ruling and intensifying the negation: ﴿And there is no deity﴾ meaning no true object of worship, because He possesses the attributes of perfection, so He is where (p-445) He harms and benefits ﴿except Allah﴾ meaning the One who encompasses the attributes of perfection, because He is the Living, the Sustainer - as has been previously stated clearly. Thus, Jesus, blessings and peace be upon him, and others are included in that. It has been known from this context that when they realized His uniqueness, they left the mutual invocation out of fear of Him, glorified and exalted is He, knowing that they are disobedient to Him and neglectful of His right, and that what they claim to be divine has no power in their hands to repel them or to benefit them, so there is no proof more decisive than this.

And when the negation of might and wisdom from others, glorified and exalted is He, is a type of concealment, He brought the two descriptions in a manner of exclusivity. He said - adding to what I have indicated from what the context has guided to being the reason for the previous negation: ﴿And indeed Allah﴾ meaning the Greatest King ﴿is indeed﴾ meaning alone ﴿the Almighty, the Wise﴾ and this is in contrast to life and sustenance, for they were not brought in a manner of exclusivity due to their obviousness. It has been known without doubt from what has been known that there is no Almighty nor Wise except Him, that there is no deity except Him.
