        son said in a different way than what they intended. This is a method
        of making the other person regret what he said and amend his words.
        In this instance, the person concerned gathers evidence so he can
        claim that he was given irrelevant advice. However, there is no way
        that an intelligent person would recommend anything to harm an-
        other person's health or keep him from meeting his natural needs.
             Those who tend to believe they are treated unjustly respond to
        people with faith calling them to virtue with this method all the
        time. But the only result they obtain with this kind of insincere be-

             Those who pretend that they are treated unjustly enter a spiri-
        tual state in which they are ready to do things that run contrary to
        the Qur'an in order to justify themselves. As we said before, these
        people draw dangerous deductions from their insincere stratagems
        and make many false accusations against others. In order to show
        their innocence, they deliberately interpret the Qur'an erroneously.
        The Qur'an draws our attention to this game that they play to legit-
        imize their aberrant characters:
             It is He Who sent down the Book to you from Him: verses
             containing clear judgments—they are the core of the
