So is one who [stands] upon a clear evidence from his Lord [like the aforementioned]? And a witness from Him follows it, and before it was the Scripture of Moses to lead and as mercy. Those [believers in the former revelations] believe in the Qur'an. But whoever disbelieves in it from the [various] factions - the Fire is his promised destination. So be not in doubt about it. Indeed, it is the truth from your Lord, but most of the people do not believe.

Is he who relies on a clear proof a clear statement from his Lord meaning the Prophet s or the believers; it the proof being the Qur’ān a clear proof which is followed by a witness to it of its veracity as being from Him that is from God; he the witness being Gabriel and before it before the Qur’ān was the Book of Moses the Torah also a witness to it as an example and a mercy? imāman wa-rahmatan is a circumstantial qualifier is such a person like one who is not so? No! Those that is the ones who rely on a clear proof they believe in it that is in the Qur’ān and so for them will be Paradise; but he who disbelieves in it of the partisans namely all the disbelievers the Fire shall be his appointed place. So do not be in doubt in uncertainty concerning it concerning the Qur’ān. Truly it is the Truth from your Lord but most of mankind that is the people of Mecca do not believe.

"Whoever had the weight of a speck of faith in his heart will depart from the Fire." Abu Sa'eed said: "Whoever has doubt then let him recite: Indeed Allah does not deal unjustly with even the weight of a speck."
We witnessed along with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) the Khaibar (campaign). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) told his
companions about a man who claimed to be a Muslim, "This man is from the people of the Fire."
When the battle started, the man fought very bravely and received a great number of wounds and got
crippled. On that, a man from among the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) came and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Do you know what the man you described as of the people of the Fire has done? He has
fought very bravely for Allah's Cause and he has received many wounds." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "But he
is indeed one of the people of the Fire." Some of the Muslims were about to have some doubt about
that statement. So while the man was in that state, the pain caused by the wounds troubled him so
much that he put his hand into his quiver and took out an arrow and committed suicide with it. Off
went some men from among the Muslims to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Allah has
made your statement true. So-and-so has committed suicide." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O Bilal! Get up
and announce in public: None will enter Paradise but a believer, and Allah may support this religion
(Islam) with a wicked man."
A believer’s vision is the forty-sixth part of Prophecy.
