40. Because he is from those upon whom there is no fear. Due to his blessings others are relieved of their fears. So, why should he himself be afraid?
41. From this, two issues are understood:
1. In order to obtain a verdict, it is not false to invent an imaginary situation, like it is said that Zaid gave his wife a divorce.
2. Even Allah Almighty and His angels honor the dignity of the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم at the attention of Hazrat Dawood (On whom be peace) sought in this way. Thus, if any person taunts or objects to any of his blessed actions, is indeed a disrespectful wretch.
42. This means telling us to show kindness to anyone that is due to him without refusing it. From this, we learn that you can say such words to the Mufti at the time of seeking a verdict and to the judge who is listening to the case. In this, there is no insult to the judge.
