And when he clarified what led them to forget the remembrance of it from loss, he explained that it caused them to fall into enmity. He said, justifying the loss, forgetfulness, and partisanship, and he emphasized the denial of their claim to negate that, revealing the place of the implicit to alert to the description that leads to destruction: ﴿Indeed, those who oppose﴾. And perhaps the merging is to conceal that faith from them, and from it, the ruling is understood [upon] whoever openly declares in the manner of the first ﴿Allah﴾, meaning they act with the greatest King who has no equal, like one who disputes another over land and overcomes a portion of it, establishing a limit that his opponent cannot exceed. ﴿And His Messenger﴾, whose greatness is from His greatness.

And when they do not act in that way except for the multitude of their supporters and followers, so whoever sees them thinks that they are the honored ones, who no one is more honored than them. Allah, the Exalted, said, denying this apparent delusion: ﴿Those﴾, meaning the distant, the lowly ﴿are among the humiliated﴾, meaning those who know that they are the most humiliated of creation, such that each of them is described as the most humiliated without any preference over him, so that it encompasses all who can experience humiliation. And that is in this world and the Hereafter, whether they are Persians and Romans or greater than them, whether they are kings who are disbelievers or sinners. As Al-Hasan said: Indeed, for disobedience in their hearts is humiliation, even if their reins clatter.
