And when it became known what evidence had been established and what decisive arguments had been presented that this is their outcome, it caused him to say in response to what came after the creation of the two horizons regarding the matter of the Messenger, blessings and peace be upon him, and their attribution of falsehood to him: ﴿So be patient﴾, meaning: in the hardships you see in conveying the message. Al-Qushayri said: Patience is standing by the command of Allah and steadfastness without complaint or coercion.

﴿As those of determination were patient﴾, meaning: determination in the matter and resolution in seriousness and the will that is certain and steadfastness that cannot be avoided, those who proceeded in the command of Allah as if they had sworn to it, becoming like lions in their nature and like a strong, brave man surrounded by his tribe. Al-Razi said in Al-Lawami': Their souls departed from desires and wishes; they devoted themselves to Allah sincerely, with the heart and soul united in giving.

And when the listener yearned for their clarification, he said: ﴿Of the messengers﴾, blessings and peace be upon them. It was said: It is very apparent that "of" is for partitive meaning, and what is intended by them are the possessors of the laws who exerted themselves in establishing their principles and solidifying their foundations. Their famous ones are Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, blessings of Allah and peace be upon them all. Some of them have composed regarding this:

Those of determination are Noah, the Friend, son of Azar, Moses, Jesus, and the beloved Muhammad.

And the disagreement in specifying them is widespread. This saying is the most famous regarding it, and all of it is based on the fact that "of" is for partitive meaning, which is the apparent meaning. The saying that they are all the messengers (p-191) - Ibn al-Jawzi said - Ibn Zayd said it, and Ibn al-Anbari chose it, saying: "Of" is for classification, not for partitive meaning. And in a saying that they are all the prophets except for Jonah, blessings and peace be upon him - Ibn al-Jawzi said: This was narrated by Al-Thalabi.

And when He commanded him to be patient, which is among the highest virtues, He forbade him from haste, which is among the main vices, so that the adornment of the virtue of patience, which guarantees success and victory, may be correct. He said: ﴿And do not hasten for them﴾, meaning: seek haste and bring it about by doing something that displeases them at a time that is not suitable for it. And when what He commanded and forbade was extremely difficult, He made it easier by saying, resuming: ﴿As if they had not remained﴾, meaning: in this world when they were in a state of superiority ﴿except for an hour﴾.

And when the Hour is mentioned, it may refer to the type, and it may be used for the long time. He affirmed its matter and belittled it by His saying: ﴿from the day﴾. And when He took charge of what was mentioned in this Surah of the evident arguments and the brilliant proofs by clarifying what its aim is, such that there remains no ambiguity in it, its aim was directed towards Surah Ibrahim, blessings and peace be upon him. It is the necessary monotheism, from which is the encompassing knowledge of everything and the completeness of power over everything, which was concluded with what was concluded by Ibrahim, except that for the Hamim there is a core. The subject was omitted, and the related news was mentioned, and it was said: ﴿a message﴾ meaning: this [which] was mentioned here [is] from the manifestations and the spreading of light, whereby it repels the warners and leads them to the pleasure of the Almighty, the Wise, who is the provider of the everlasting light and the abiding bliss. And whoever is not led to it, then that is the one whom the Almighty has decreed to be wretched, and there is no way for anyone else to heal him from his great disease. And for this reason, His saying caused it to be a message, adding to the conclusion of Ibrahim what is suitable for its beginning: ﴿So will they be destroyed﴾. It was built for the passive form from 'destroyed', because the feared thing is destruction, even if the destroyer is not specified. And for the indication that their destruction by Him, glorified and exalted is He, is very easy ﴿except the people﴾ who have the capability to carry out what they attempt from the obstinacy ﴿the wicked﴾ meaning: those who are entrenched in continuing to exit from the realm of what the guide of reason and the original nature calls to from obedience, which is brought by the transmission to the misleader of disobedience, which the transmission and reason prohibit. As for those who have committed wickedness and those who will commit wickedness, then the guide of this Surah leads them and brings them to the intended goal. This latter is the result of His saying at the beginning ﴿And those who disbelieved from what they were warned are turning away﴾ [Al-Ahqaf: 3]. And the mention of the promised day is the term for which the two realms were created for its sake and because of it, and the indication of the power in their creation without fatigue is His mention at the beginning that they were not created except with the truth. And the mention of the message is the revelation of the Book from Allah and His judgment upon the entrenched in wickedness with destruction, while with the compassionate guide, there is salvation after his slipping into wickedness with repetition. This is from the fruits of honor and wisdom. This latter has connected with that first, in a connection of the utmost connection, and it is connected in meaning like the precious jewel in the solid system. And contemplate with the first of what follows it, the best of connections, so glorified is He who made it the noblest of speech, due to it being a description of the King, the All-Knowing, revealed upon the Seal of the noble messengers, and the Messenger - the King, the All-Knowing - blessings and peace be upon him and upon his family and companions and the noble household, and may He grant them abundant peace.
