Commentary

Then He alerted them to the caller to follow them; and the one preventing from turning away from them; by His saying - repeating the action; indicating His great concern for it -: "Follow"; meaning: with all your effort; "the one who does not ask you"; meaning: in any of the situations; "for a reward"; and since He used the singular pronoun; looking at the word "who"; indicating the obligation to follow the one who is characterized by this matter that indicates the message; and even if he is one; he gathered; clarifying the priority by cooperation; and mutual support; and agreement in preservation; and distancing from impurity; indicating the unity of intention that indicates the necessity of truthfulness; so He said: "and they are guided"; meaning: guidance is established for them; it does not depart from them; whenever they intend something, they hit the mark of correctness; so you succeed in the religion that necessitates success in the Hereafter; and nothing of this world will be missed from you; thus He provided comprehensive encouragement in this brief statement.
