Commentary
The example of evil is the attribute of evil: it is the need for male children and the dislike of females, and burying them out of fear of poverty. They acknowledge their extreme stinginess. And to Allah belongs the highest example, for He is free from the worlds, and He is above the attributes of created beings, and He is the Generous and Bountiful.
