Commentary

Peace be upon you. A farewell and parting. And from Al-Hasan, may Allah be pleased with him: The word of patience from the believers is that we do not seek the ignorant. We do not want to mix with them or associate with them. If you say: Who did they address with their saying, 'And for you are your deeds'? I say: The ones who are engaged in idle talk, as indicated by His saying, 'And when they hear idle talk.'
