Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) said regarding Allah the Exalted’s statement: “Is then he who stands on a clear proof from his Lord, and a witness from Him follows him” (__QUR_N__): This refers to Jibreel (peace be upon him), and the one who recites is the follower, meaning the one who follows. And he recited this verse: “By the sun and its brightness, and by the moon when it follows it” (__QUR_N__), meaning: By the sun and its daylight, and by the moon when it follows it.
