Commentary
The promise of Allah is true, with two sources: the first is a confirmation of itself, and the second is a confirmation for others. And who is more truthful than Allah in saying? This is a third, eloquent confirmation. If you say: What is the benefit of these confirmations? I say: It is a counter to the false promises and vain hopes of the devil for his companions, with the true promise of Allah for His allies. This encourages the servants to prefer what they deserve to fulfill the promise of Allah, over what they endure in the end as the bitterness of the broken promises of the devil.
