Commentary

This is more inclusive of fairness and more eloquent than the first, as it attributes wrongdoing to the addressed and actions to the addressed. If he means by wrongdoing: the minor sins and slips that no believer is free from, and by actions: disbelief and major sins. Mahmoud said: "This statement is more inclusive of fairness than the first, as it attributed wrongdoing to the self and meant by it the slips and minor sins that no believer is free from, and attributed actions to the addressed and meant by it disbelief and sins and major sins." Ahmad said: "He expressed the slips with the term used for the major sins, and the major sins with the term used for the slips, adhering to fairness. Moreover, he mentioned the wrongdoing attributed to the self in the past tense, which conveys the realization of the meaning, while the actions attributed to the opponent are not expressed in that way. And Allah knows best." And Allah opened between them: and His judgment and distinction is that these enter Paradise and those enter Hell.
