The right of the believer is on the side of buying, so the believer was the owner of the suit of permissibility and of the obligation, so he stripped himself of the suit of permissibility and not of the obligation, and both of them were his. On guidance they bought misguidance, for they did not own it with the guidance that God gave them to possess, so their trade did not profit, and they were not guided in that purchase because God did not legislate for His slaves to buy.

[ Those who are not distracted by anything from God ]

Then He, the Most High, said after His saying, No sale from the remembrance of God, that is, nothing distracts them from the remembrance of God. When they heard the muezzin in this house calling to God while he was closing the door, he said to them, Come on to prayer, meaning, come to the call to prayer with your Lord, for He has manifested itself to you in the heart of His house, which is the qiblah, for God is in the qiblah of the servant, so the people of God, from their sale and their well-known trade in the world, hastened to this remembrance when they heard it, so they established the prayer, that is, they completed its inception when they established it with good adherence to their imam, good bowing and prostration, and what it contains of remembrance of God, which is the greatest in it, as God Almighty told He said that prayer forbids indecency and wrongdoing because of the opening takbeer, for it is forbidden for him to dispose of anything other than prayer as long as he is in prayer. that

[ Prayer forbids indecency and wrongdoing .]

And look how noble prayer is, how it gave this strange issue, which is that if a person acts on an obligation, he will have a reward for those who act on an obligation, and his occupation with that duty includes not devoting himself to what he was forbidden to do of indecency and evil, so he will have a reward for the one who intended not to do indecency or evil. People leave what they have this consideration for not attending to invoke the first, and if that was not the case, he would not have given a benefit in saying that prayer forbids indecency and evil, and prayer is the act of the servant, so he is with his prayer one who forbids indecency and evil, so he has the reward of prayer for whoever does not speak, so he forbids indecency and evil. The reward of two acts of worship is the reward of prayer, which is worship, and the reward of forbidding immorality, which is an act of worship, and few of our companions make their minds in their worship to the likes of these observations in the divine definition on the tongue of the Lawgiver in the Qur an and Sunnah.

[ And for the remembrance of God is greater ]

Then he said, And the remembrance of God is greater, meaning in it is greater than the sum of its actions, for it includes words and deeds. He said, And the remembrance of God in prayer is the greatest condition of prayer. Here, the remembrance that is outside the prayer until you prefer it to the prayer, but it is the remembrance that is in the prayer

[ He who enjoins righteousness on others and forgets himself ]

Among the conditions of establishing prayer is a person who commands others to be righteous and forgets to rebuke God for this characteristic and makes him the status of one who has no mind.

The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, says,

Then he commanded one of his attributes to seek help from patience and prayer, i.e., to be patient in prayer, so he preceded the restraint of the soul on it, for God says and commands your family to pray and be patient with it, then he wants to pray. O you who believe, why do you say what you do not do? And this is the case of someone who enjoins righteousness other than himself and forgets himself. So, do you not understand? He says: Do you not have minds with which you look at the evil of what you are upon?

[ Reverence to God is only due to divine glory .]

Then he mentioned reverence for prayer, and he said, It is a great deal except for the humble, for reverence for God can only come from divine reverence, and prayer is a soliloquy. The heart, especially in prayer and transfiguration for the majority of people, either by attendance, which is for individuals, or by imaginary conjugation, which is predominant in the general public, for God is in the qiblah of the worshiper. In such a case, they should seek help in prayer and be patient with it, for the worshiper is conversing with his Lord. If the servant is in the place of conversing with his Lord always, he is required by modesty from God, so he is not able to command anyone to be righteous and forget himself from him, rather he begins with himself.

[ Birth is benevolence and goodness ]

And righteousness is charity and goodness, and among that is that he is in need of a morsel, he eats it and sees others needing it, and the need is equal, so he gives to others.
