Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “And they did not wrong us, but they used to wrong themselves”

However, it is the object of the verb in “but they used to wrong themselves.” It was placed before the verb to indicate exclusivity, meaning that they do not wrong anyone with this except themselves; they do not wrong anyone with it except themselves. As for Allah the Exalted, they do not wrong Him, for He, Glorified and Exalted is He, is not harmed by their disobedience, just as He does not gain benefit from their obedience.
