The Shaykh :"What is their sin, by Allah, except that they *** took hold of the revelation of Allah and the Criterion"
What is their sin except that they took hold of the revelation of Allah and the Qur'an? Is this a criticism or a praise? It is a praise.

"And there is no flaw in them except that their swords *** leave remnants from the clash of the armies"
"And there is no flaw in them except that their swords *** leave remnants from" What?
"from the clash of the armies" Is this praise or criticism? It is praise for bravery and boldness.

"What is their sin, by Allah, except that they *** took hold of the revelation of Allah and the Criterion"
This is like the action of those who came before them[Al-Buruj 85:8].
