He has imposed the proof upon them in these verses and cut off their excuses and justifications by stating that the one sent to them is a well-known man, whose affairs and condition are known. His inner and outer self is revealed, and it is fitting that one like him be chosen for the message from among them. He has not been afflicted with [UNTRANSLATED-LATIN: junoon] so that such a great claim could be made falsely.

He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'You have killed the fathers with the sword and the children with hunger.'
