And when the decree was: "They turned away; for turning away has become their nature; they are unable to escape from its bondage"; he referred to it by saying: ﴿And no sign comes to them﴾; and he generalized with his saying: ﴿from a sign﴾; and clarified his saying: ﴿from signs﴾; and directed the speech towards reminding them of the favors; as a denial for them that they are the most grateful of people to the Bestower; he said: ﴿their Lord﴾; meaning: the One who does good to them; ﴿except that they were turning away from it﴾; meaning: despite it being from the One who has overwhelmed them with His goodness; and encompassed them with His grace; and His favor; ﴿turning away﴾; meaning: their turning away is constant.
