Commentary
It was said: His son's name was 'An'am. Al-Kalbi said: 'Ashkam. It was said that his son and wife were disbelievers. He continued to urge them until they both embraced Islam. It is a great injustice to equate one who has no blessing except that it is from Him, with one who has no blessing from Him at all, and it cannot be imagined that it could be from Him: this is an injustice whose magnitude cannot be comprehended.
