Commentary

And 'yasa' is as if the definite article has entered upon 'yasa'. And it was read: 'wal-laysa', as if the definite article has entered upon 'laysa', which is derived from 'las'a'. The tanween in 'wa-kullu' is a substitute for the added noun, its meaning is: And all of them are among the good.
