Commentary

And when these qualities are the mothers of the actions that necessitate perfection, and they are equivalent in a way to the verse of Al-Baqarah, which He concluded with its conclusion, after He tightened it with its reins, He said: ﴿Those﴾ meaning the high-ranking ones who possess the stations of closeness are of the greatest rank ﴿upon guidance﴾ meaning they are greatly established in it, as one who is dominant over something. And He said: ﴿from their Lord﴾ as a reminder [to them] that if it were not for His grace, they would not have reached anything. So they should prostrate their foreheads on the thresholds, out of fear of being impressed. ﴿And those are﴾ meaning specifically ﴿the successful﴾ meaning the ones who are victorious in every desire.
