Commentary
And when the gatherings of wine in this world are filled with that which disturbs them from idle talk and lies, except for one who has no sense of honor, so the ugly does not disturb him, he negates from it that which clouds the pleasure of hearing: "They will not hear therein" meaning in Paradise at any time, "idle talk" meaning talk that deserves to be disregarded because it has no meaning other than being neglected, having no meaning at all, or being used without any meaning that exists externally, even if it is little, or it has a meaning but it does not result in a great benefit. And when the lie is negated in this manner, and the denial is a harm to the denier, he negated it by saying: "nor a liar" for this form is said regarding denial and absolute lying, thus the meaning became: and no harm in opposition in saying, along with the agreement of the reading of al-Kisai with the lightening, for its meaning is lying or being lied to, and he emphasized in the reading of the majority for the elegance of the wording and the balance of "vineyards and companions" with the accuracy of the meaning without the slightest deviation from the intent and without any forcedness in any way.
