And when He forbade secret counsel and condemned it and threatened it, that was a place to be thought that the prohibition is general for every secret counsel, even if it is for good. He began His saying calling out with the tool after which what follows has no great impact, expressing with the first words of faith due to the state necessitating it: "O you who have believed" meaning those who claim that they have attained this truth. "When you confer in secret" meaning each of you has taken the words from himself and raised them and revealed them to his companion secretly. "Then do not confer in secret" meaning do not make this truth apparent like the secret counsel of the hypocrites. "In sin" meaning the sin and every action for which a punishment is written due to it.

And when the generality was specified, He said: "and transgression" meaning that which is the severe enemy by which it harms, even if the transgressor thinks that no sin is written against him by it. And when the context is for honoring the Prophet, blessings and peace be upon him, while the reality of sin is not known except from him, He, exalted is He, said: "and disobedience to the Messenger" meaning the one who is complete in messengership, for that confuses his mind and does not allow him to convey the messages of his Lord while he is open-hearted and good-natured.

And when it was known that their prohibition was only against an evil that corrupts the relations among people, which they do not want the Prophet, blessings and peace be upon him, to know, He explicitly stated with His saying urging towards reforming relations among people, for the best of matters is what returns to its reform, and the worst of matters is what returns to its corruption: "And confer in secret for righteousness" meaning for the broad good in which there is good upbringing. And when that may happen naturally, He urged towards good intention with His saying: "and piety" which is what is apparent in oneself that it is a shield protecting from the punishment of Allah by being pleasing to Allah and His Messenger.

And when piety is the mother of virtues, He emphasized it and alerted to it with His saying: "And fear Allah" meaning aim for an aim that is followed by action to place between you and the wrath of the greatest King a protection. And when the remembrance of the Hereafter is the gathering of fears, especially the exposure of secrets before the witnesses, He said: "to Him" meaning specifically "you will be gathered" meaning you will be assembled in the easiest matter and its simplest by force and compulsion, which is the Day of Resurrection, when He, glorified is He, will manifest for judgment among the creation and fairness among them with justice and holding them accountable for the smallest and the tiniest, nothing is hidden from Him and no one can shield from Him. The tents of greatness will be unveiled in it, and the complete enforcement of the word will appear, and the might of the overpowering will manifest in the realms of honor, and the flashes of pride will spread. So if you do that, being mindful of it, you will not advance towards anything you wish to conceal from the Prophet, blessings and peace be upon him, and that will be more pleasing to his eyes and purer for you.
