Commentary
Except His Face. The Face is a term used to refer to the Self.
The Messenger of Allah, blessings and peace be upon him, said: "Whoever recites Ta-Sin-Mim (Tasm) in the stories will have a reward equal to the number of those who believed in Moses and those who disbelieved in him. There will not remain a king in the heavens and the earth except that he will testify for him on the Day of Resurrection that he was truthful that everything is perishable except His Face. To Him belongs the judgment, and to Him you will return." [[Narrated by Al-Thalabi and Ibn Mardawayh. And Al-Wahidi from the hadith of Ubayy ibn Ka'b with their chains of narration mentioned earlier.]]
