And when He concluded the verse with what is the utmost in His advice to them, the Most High, regarding shelter, victory, and good provision, indicating gratitude for the favor of the Benefactor, He concluded that with an encouragement to be grateful. He forbade us from neglecting gratitude in that by betraying His commands, whether through embezzlement or otherwise. He said: "O you who have believed," reminding them of what they have obligated themselves to in terms of loyalty. "Do not betray Allah," meaning: do not diminish the rights of the Sovereign, the Greatest. For the essence of betrayal is deficiency, and then it was used in opposition to trust and loyalty, thus it became a specific deficiency. "And the Messenger," through embezzlement or otherwise. Rather, fulfill the trust in all of that. And perhaps He repeated the action in His saying: "And do not betray your trusts," referring to the obligatory acts, limits, supererogatory acts, and others, indicating that the two betrayals are different. Their betrayal of Allah is a reality, while their betrayal of the trust is a metaphor; because when the bearer of it fails in it, it is as if he has betrayed it. And He alleviated their burden with His saying: "While you know." This is in a state of heedlessness and the like. It is permissible that the object is not intended, and the meaning could be: "And you are knowledgeable," and this would be an exaggeration in the prohibition against it, as they are deserving that no excuse of ignorance or forgetfulness be accepted from them because they are knowledgeable. And the scholar is the one who knows Allah, and the one who knows should not be detached from vigilance.
