Commentary
And a group among them. This means from them, among the latter ones. He did not clarify in them whether they are few or many. The apparent meaning is that the latter ones are more. For the description of the first ones as many does not contradict the fact that others may be more, in agreement with the saying of the Prophet, blessings and peace be upon him: 'Indeed, this nation constitutes two-thirds of the people of Paradise, for they are twenty and one hundred rows. This nation among them has eighty rows.'
