20. 1 The qualities of people of understanding are being described here. By Allah's covenant is meant His commands (orders and prohibitions) which they fulfill. Or it is that covenant which is called عَھْدِ الَسْت, the details of which have already been mentioned in Surah Al-A'raf.

20. 2 By this are meant those mutual agreements and promises which they make with each other, or those which are between them and their Lord.
