Commentary
He made sight for the day, and it is for its people. If you say: What is the reason for the contrast that is not observed in his saying 'so that they may settle' and 'sighted' where one is a cause and the other is a state? I say: It is observed in terms of meaning, and thus the natural structure is unforced. Because the meaning of 'sighted' is: so that they may see therein the ways of turning in earnings.
