Commentary
In the sects of the former ones, in their divisions and groups. And the Shi'a: is the group when they agree on a doctrine and a method. And the meaning of 'We sent him among them' is that We informed them about him and made him a messenger among them. And 'what comes to them' narrates a past state, because 'what' does not enter upon the present tense except that it is in the meaning of the state, nor upon the past except that it is close to the state.
