Commentary
Do not enumerate them; do not measure their number, nor can you reach it with your capacity. So, it is enough that you cannot fulfill the right of it by performing gratitude. Following this, he enumerated His blessings as a reminder that behind them are those that cannot be confined or counted. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful, as He overlooks your shortcomings in performing gratitude for the blessing, and does not cut it off from you due to your negligence, nor does He hasten you with punishment for denying it. And Allah knows what you conceal and what you declare of your deeds, and this is a warning.
