* v.81 : The above interpolation is based on 7:116; see also the second paragraph of 20:66.
* By “God’s words” is meant here His creative will, manifested in the laws of nature instituted by Him as well as in the revelations granted by Him to His prophets (Manār XI, 468). A similar phrase occurs also in 8:7 and 42:24.
