Commentary
He is more guiding than both of them, than what was revealed to Musa, blessings and peace be upon him, and than what was revealed to me. This condition is similar to what I mentioned, that it is a condition of the one who is certain about the validity of the command, because the impossibility of bringing forth a book more guiding than the two books is a known and established matter, with no room for doubt in it. It is permissible that the particle of doubt is intended to mock them.
