The commentators have said it means: We have mentioned about the destruction of the people of Lut, in which there are signs for those who thinks and ponder and those who derive lesson from it. Some of them said that ‘those who examine’ are those who recognize things through signs and marks and understand the things through intelligence and insight. There is a tradition from the Holy Prophet (S) that: Beware of the sagacity of a believer because he sees with the Light of Allah.

Kulaini, Basair, Manaqib and the Tafsir of Ayyashi and Ali Ibne Ibrahim and all the books quote many traditions from the Infallibles (a.s.) that: We are ‘those who examine’ and the way of Paradise and till Qiyamat we are the ‘road that still abides’ and is firm. In Uyoon Akhbar Ridha it is narrated that people asked the Imam that what is the source through which you make people aware about the things that are in their hearts.

He said: May be you have not heard that the Holy Prophet (S) said: Be afraid of the sagacity of the believer as he sees through the light of Allah. The narrator said: Yes O Hazrat I have heard it. He said: There is no believer but that there is a sagacity in him and through whatever amount of light of faith and intelligence that he possess he sees by the light of Allah.
