The benefits of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “So when he came to them with the truth from Us, they said, ‘Kill the sons of those who believe with him, and keep alive their women.’ And the plot of the disbelievers was not but in error.”

Among the benefits of this noble verse is that Moses (peace be upon him) brought the truth to Pharaoh, Haman, and Qarun, and this indicates that he spoke out with it before them.
And among its benefits is that these deniers were unable to refute the truth that he brought, so they did not meet the argument with its like.
And among its benefits is that these three resorted to killing and threats, saying, “Kill the sons of those who believe with him.”
And among its benefits is that it is the men who protect the homes and defend them, and that the woman is not the one who defends the country or repels the enemy. The evidence for this is that these people said:[Ghafir 40:25].
And among the benefits of this verse is the complete fanaticism of the disbelievers, meaning that they are fanatical, so they say:[Ghafir 40:25]
And among the benefits of this verse is that Allah the Exalted may allow His enemies to have power over the believers as a test and trial, and reality is such, and it may be that the stronger a person’s faith becomes, the more severe the harm of the enemies of Allah toward him becomes.
And among the benefits of the noble verse is that the disbelievers plot against the believers, as indicated by His saying:[Ghafir 40:25].
And among the benefits of the noble verse is the ruling that these three are disbelievers, and for this reason it did not say “and their plot” but rather made explicit what was implied, indicating that these are disbelievers. And it has been mentioned to us previously that making explicit in the place of implication yields two benefits:
The first benefit is the ruling on these people, for whom the explicit noun took the place of their pronoun, with this description; the second is generality and comprehensiveness; the third is the reason,[Ghafir 40:25].
Among the benefits of the noble verse is the complete good news for the believers that the disbelievers, however much they plot, their plot is wasted and perishing; it will not benefit them, nor will they benefit from it in any way. And if they do benefit, it is only a temporary benefit, and the outcome is for the righteous.

But the plan of the disbelievers is not except in error.
وما كيد الكافرين إلا في ضلالAnd among the benefits of the noble verse is the ruling that these three are disbelievers, and for this reason it did not say “and their plot” but rather made explicit what was implied, indicating that these are disbelievers.
