The statement concerning the explanation of His word, the Exalted: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ عَلَى الْهُدَى (Have you seen? If he is upon the guidance.) (96:11)
The Exalted, whose mention is exalted, says: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ (Have you seen? If he was) — namely Muḥammad — عَلَى الْهُدَى (upon the guidance), that is to say: upon righteousness and correctness in his prayer (ṣalāh) to his Lord.
