Note 1
(1) His statement: “a trial, deaf, mute, and blind” – meaning they do not distinguish between truth and falsehood in it, nor hear advice or the command to good and prohibition of evil. Rather, whoever speaks the truth in it is harmed and falls into trials and afflictions. (As stated in Al-Mirqat)

(۱) قوله: فتنة صماء إلخ والمعنى لا يميزون فيها بين الحق والباطل، ولا يسمعون النصيحة والأمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر، بل من تكلم فيها بحق أوذي ووقع في الفتن والمحن كذا في «المرقاة».
