And when this was a witness proof after the rational evidences regarding what was previously promised, it caused denial against them. So he said: "Is he who is on a clear proof from his Lord?" This means in all his conditions, a state that is evidently clear in that it is true from his Lord, the Nurturer, the Planner for him, the Benefactor to him by what He establishes of the evidences that incapacitate all creatures from being able to bring even one of them. So he perceived the evil of his deeds and was shown it in its reality, so he saw it as bad and avoided it, opposing his desires. Al-Qushayri said: The scholars are in the light of their proofs, and the knowers are in the light of their clarifications.

"Like one whom the devil has beautified for him..." This is by the beautification of the devil by making it easy for him and creating for him the effects with the easiest matter, the evil of his deeds, whether it be polytheism or disobedience.

And when the estimation was: So he saw it as good and acted upon it, remaining with it, he was in blindness and misguidance. And he had singled out the pronoun for the acceptance of "who" from the aspect of its wording, gathering a response to its meaning by generalizing the ugliness in dual and singular forms. And an indication that the ugly may initially be very little, so whenever it is neglected and its substance is not sealed, it creeps in and spreads. So he said, adding to what I have estimated: "And they followed their desires." There is no doubt for them in any of their evil deeds, let alone evidence. And the verse is from the intertwining, as it mentioned the proof first as evidence against its opposite second, and the beautification and following of desires second as evidence against both of them first. And its secret is that it mentioned the original that encompasses good as encouragement and the original that encompasses evil as warning.
