Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Then He mentioned their attributes, saying: to the end of it. In this verse, there are several benefits: the virtue of patience, and that it is among the attributes by which a person is praised, because the context is one of praise and commendation. Among the benefits of this noble verse is also the virtue of truthfulness, for Allah described the righteous with it, saying: . Among its benefits is also the virtue of devoutness (qunut), for Allah described the righteous with it; the virtue of spending, for Allah described the righteous with it; the virtue of seeking forgiveness; and the virtue of the last hours of the night, is that so? Good. Among the benefits of this noble verse is the exhortation to be characterized by these attributes, which are: patience, truthfulness, devoutness, spending, and seeking forgiveness in the last hours of the night. Where does the exhortation to these attributes come from? Because they were presented in the manner of praise and commendation. The desirability of a thing is known either by commanding it, or by forbidding its abandonment, or by praising its doer, or by assigning a reward for it, or something similar to that. The important point is that the signs indicating that a thing is commanded are multiple. Good. Is it taken from the verse that patience is the best of these attributes? Because Allah began with it. Yes? Yes, it may be taken, and it can be said: In this verse, there is evidence that patience is the best of these attributes. In reality, if a person achieves true patience, he achieves all of these attributes, because among the types of patience is patience in obeying Allah and patience in refraining from His disobedience. Among the benefits of this noble verse is the condemnation of being characterized by the opposites of these attributes: impatience, and then? Lying, little obedience, fourth: stinginess and miserliness, and fifth: arrogance in seeking forgiveness, and the person seeing himself as not a sinner. So these are among the afflictions by which many people are tested. I think we have pointed out that the conjunction here is a conjunction of attributes, not a conjunction of entities, or not? Good. Now we begin by saying: The conjunction here is a conjunction of attributes, not a conjunction of entities, because the patient, the truthful, the devout, the spenders, and those who seek forgiveness in the last hours of the night are one thing, returning to one thing. And the conjunction of attributes is permissible because there is differentiation, as each attribute differs from the other attribute. Have you not seen His saying, the Exalted: [Al-A'la 87:1-4], and He is one, Mighty and Majestic, but this is from the category of the conjunction of attributes.
