Commentary
And when he denied this denial against them, and was astonished by their astonishment in attributing an action to someone else or denying a report from him, this caused a clarification that there is no doer other than him. His saying: "So why not" is a tool that conveys a request with reprimand and reproach, meaning "Is there not?" or "Why not?" "When the soul reaches" [meaning] the soul from you and from others at the time of death, it is implied without mention due to the clarity of the speech indicating it. "The throat" is the passage of food in the throat, and the throat is the place for food and drink, which is well-known. Thus, the throat is the closest part of the throat to the tongue because the 'm' is for the end of the completion.
