(1) His statement: “whatever” – meaning that deed, whether good or evil, in words or actions, whether he intends its exposure or not, as Allah said: And Allah will expose what you were concealing (Al-Baqarah: 72). (As stated in Al-Mirqat)

(۱) قوله : كائنا: أي ذلك العمل ما كان أي من الأعمال، ونصب كائنا» على الحال أي حال ذلك العمل أي شيء كان خيرا أو شرا من الأقوال والأفعال، أي سواء أراد ظهوره أو لم يرده؛ لقوله تعالى: ﴿وَاللهُ مُخْرِجٌ مَّا كُنتُمْ تكْتُمُونَ ﴾ (البقرة: (۷۲). كذا في «المرقاة».
