Commentary
Judgment is wisdom, and it is what must be done. Or it is a separation between the disputants. It is said: it is prophethood. And the village: Sidhum, meaning: among the people of Our mercy. Or in Paradise. From it is the hadith: "This is My mercy; I bestow it upon whom I will." [Agreed upon from the hadith of Abu Huraira, who reported: "The Fire and Paradise argued - the hadith" and in it, He said to Paradise: "You are My mercy; I bestow it upon whom I will of My servants." And Muslim has a similar narration from Abu Sa'id.]
