Commentary

And when what is presumed from the confusion of hearing and the deviation of sight has been negated, nothing remains except what relates to the conveying of it. So he negates what is imagined from that by saying: "And what" means he heard it and saw it, while the case is that it is not "upon the unseen" meaning the matter that is hidden from you in the narration about it, nor in anything else by which it is more appropriate. "With a miserly one" means with one who is accused, from the suspicion, which is the accusation, just as the soothsayer is accused because he errs in some of what he says. So he is truly worthy of being trusted in everything he says in all his conditions. This is in the reading of Ibn Kathir, Abu Amr, Al-Kisai, and Ruwais from Yaqub with the dhad, and the meaning in the reading of the others with the dad: with a stingy one, just as the soothsayer is stingy desiring the sweets. Rather, he is eager that each of his community be knowledgeable of all that Allah, the Most High, has commanded him to convey.
