Ibn Abbas Commentary

(Alike of you) in the sight of Allah, as far as His knowledge is concerned (is he who hideth the saying) and works (and he who noiseth it abroad) and him who makes his speech and works public; Allah knows all this, (he who lurketh in the night) he who hides in the dark of the night (and he who goeth freely in the daytime) He says: or works, Allah knows what he does.

They are all the same according to His knowledge exalted be He those of you who speak secretly and those who do so openly and those who lurk who hide themselves in the night in its darkness and those who go forth those who are manifest to view when they make their way by day.
