Muhammad said: Regarding His saying at the beginning of the verse: "Worship God and associate nothing with Him, and to parents, do good." The meaning is: God has commanded you to worship Him, and has commanded you to show kindness to your parents. Likewise, for everything God has mentioned in this verse, the meaning is: show kindness to all of these.
His saying: "Indeed, God does not like those who are arrogant and boastful."
Muhammad said: The arrogant (al-mukhtal) means: the conceited, the ignorant.

قَوْله: ﴿إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ من كَانَ مختالا فخورا﴾
قَالَ مُحَمَّد: المختال: يَعْنِي: التَّيَّاه الجهول.
