Commentary

They do not fall upon it, which is not a denial of falling. Rather, it is an affirmation of it, and a denial of deafness and blindness, as you say: 'Zaid does not greet me with peace.' This is a denial of peace, not of meeting. The meaning is that when they are reminded of it, they eagerly turn towards it, keen to listen to it. They approach the one reminding them of it, and in their eagerness towards it, they are listening with attentive ears and seeing with watchful eyes. They are not like those who are reminded of it, and you see them leaning towards it, turning to the one reminding them, showing great eagerness to listen to it, while they are like the deaf and blind, as they do not comprehend it nor perceive what is in it, like the hypocrites and their likes.
