Commentary

If you say: The coming of the truth and the Messenger has been made the ultimate enjoyment, then he followed it up. [Maqsood: "If you say: The coming of the truth and the Messenger has been made the ultimate enjoyment, then he followed it up ... etc." Ahmad said: Valuable words with no addition needed, except that his saying: 'They were made to feel at this ultimate enjoyment that they became aware' is a statement that should be avoided. And Allah knows best. How good is the coming of the ultimate enjoyment in this manner, like the coming of interruption in some instances. Just as the ultimate enjoyment came here - and it is not intended that the action mentioned before it is cut off at that point as is understood from it, but rather the intention is its continuation and increase, so that this beneficial state ended with the existence of something more complete than it - likewise is the interruption in the saying of Allah, the Exalted: 'But their knowledge of the Hereafter has overtaken them; rather, they are in doubt about it; rather, they are blind to it.' And these interruptions do not mean that the second is a response to the first, but rather the second is more emphatic than the first. The interruption came with agreement and increase to indicate that the second, having exceeded the first, is considered in light of its increase and the deficiency of the first as if they are two opposing things, where the first is disregarded and the second is affirmed. There are many examples of this, and may Allah grant success.
