﴿قُلْ لِعِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاة﴾ يَعْنِي: الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ؛ يُحَافِظُونَ عَلَيْهَا ﴿وَيُنْفِقُوا مِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ سِرًّا وَعَلانِيَةً﴾ يَعْنِي: الزَّكَاةَ الْوَاجِبَةَ.
﴿مِنْ قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِي يَوْم﴾ يَعْنِي: يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ﴿لَا بَيْعٌ فِيهِ﴾ أَيْ: لَا يَتَبَايَعُونَ فِيهِ ﴿وَلا خلال﴾ أَيْ: تَنْقَطِعُ فِيهِ كُلُّ خلةٍ إِلا خُلَّةَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ.
قَالَ محمدٌ: الْخِلالُ مصدرٌ؛ يُقَالُ: خَالَلْتُ فُلانًا؛ أَيْ: صَادَقْتُهُ خِلالا وَمُخَالَّةً، وَالاسْمُ: الْخلَّة.
