21. 1. In this, it is stated regarding the people of Taqwa that they remain alert against Shaytan. Ta'if or Tayf refers to that imagination which comes to the heart or appears in a dream. Here, it is used in the sense of a Shaytanic whisper, because a Shaytanic whisper is also similar to imaginary concepts. (Fath al-Qadeer)
