Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Whispering of Shaytan and the People of TaqwaAllah mentions His servants who have Taqwa, obeying His orders, and avoid what He forbade: إِذَا مَسَّهُمْ(when comes to them) an evil thought, or anger, or the whispers of Shaytan cross their mind, or intend to err, or commit an error, تَذَكَّرُواْ(they remember) Allah's punishment, as well as, His tremendous reward.
