The Shaykh :"So by our effort we interpret them and repel in *** their shoulders a repulsion for the one with the lance"
Meaning: It means that we exert effort in interpreting them and we toil. Why? Why? Yes, we toil in order to attain the reward. For it was said to them: If the intended meaning is not the apparent one, why did Allah not bring the intended meaning and bring an apparent meaning that contradicts the intended one? They said: In order that we toil in applying this apparent meaning to its figurative sense and pursuing the rare usages of the language, so that we thereby attain a reward. Good.
