Al-Jalalayn Commentary

Is not God the fairest of all judges? the most just of all judges. His passing judgement by means of the process of requital is one such example. In a hadīth it is stated ‘Whoever recites sūrat wa’l-tīni ‘By the fig’ to the end of it let him then say “Yes Indeed! And I am of those who bear witness to this!” ’
