( And He found you erring, and then guided you ) — that is, He found you in a different state from that in which you find yourself today.
Al-Suddī said, concerning this verse, what was related to us by Ibn Ḥumayd, who said: Mihrān related to us, on the authority of al-Suddī ( And He found you erring ), who said: He remained for forty years in the religious practice of his people. And it has been said: what is meant by this is: and He found you in the midst of an erring people, and then guided you.
