Commentary
Each one of the two teams, and the tanween is a substitute for the added to it. We increase them from Our bounty, and we make the former of it a provision for the latter without cutting it off. We provide for the obedient and the disobedient all together as an act of grace. And the bounty of your Lord is not prohibited, meaning it is not prevented from a disobedient due to his disobedience.
