Their sight indicates masters of sleight-of-hand and illusion. One distinguishes between the Muslim ones and the unbelieving ones by their commanding and forbidding, or by their deeds: whoever among them commands what is right, or forbids what is wrong, or gives true information, is of the Muslims, and the opposite is the opposite.
