And when the listener longed to know some of that, he said: ﴿They said﴾, calling out due to their closeness to Him and their constant presence with Him, which occupied them from everything: ﴿Oh woe to us﴾ (p-314), meaning this is the time of Your presence, O woe to us and Your calling to us, for there is no companion for us except You. And woe is destruction and being on the brink of it.

And when the people of wickedness deny that one who prevents the poor is tyrannical, they affirmed their saying: ﴿Indeed, we were﴾, meaning by nature and disposition ﴿tyrants﴾, meaning exceeding the limits in what we did of dividing among ourselves while preventing the poor and taking it in the morning without exception from the action of the able. And this was, if it must be for us, possible without division or concealment from others, nor hiding while moving, by saying to the poor: Allah will open, and similar words.
