He explained that this believer, likewise, has been protected from being led astray by any trial. He has been tested, and Allah has kept him steadfast through those trials. He possesses four qualities: if he is given something, he is grateful; if he is tested, he is patient; if he speaks, he tells the truth; and if he judges, he is just. Among other people, he is like a living man walking among the graves of the dead.

Concerning “Light upon light,” he explained that the believer moves within five forms of light: his speech is light, his deeds are light, his coming in is light, his going out is light, and his destination on the Day of Resurrection is light—Paradise.

He said that Allah then gave the likeness of the disbeliever:

“Those who disbelieve—their deeds are like a mirage on a level plain”—and the rest of the verse.

He explained that the disbeliever likewise comes on the Day of Resurrection thinking that he has something good awaiting him with Allah, but he does not find it, so Allah sends him into the Fire.

He said that Allah gave another likeness for the disbeliever, saying:

“Or like layers of darkness in a deep sea, covered by waves, with more waves above them”—and the rest of the verse.

He thus moves within five forms of darkness: his speech is darkness, his deeds are darkness, his coming in is darkness, and his going out is darkness
