My servants, besides Me, are the angels. This means that they will not have allies, as it has been narrated about them: 'Glorified are You, You are our ally besides them.' Ibn Mas'ud read: 'So do those who disbelieve think?' And the reading of Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, is: 'Do those who disbelieve think?' That is, is it enough for them and does it suffice them to take them as allies from the beginning and the report? Or based on the action and the doer, because the name of the doer, when it relies on the hamzah, is equivalent to the action in effect, as in saying: 'Are the two Zaydans standing?' The meaning is that this will not suffice them nor benefit them with Allah as they have assumed. And it is a well-structured good reading. The 'nuzul' is what is set up for the guest, and similar to it: 'So give them glad tidings of a painful punishment.'
