إِنِّي لَأَخْشَاكُمْ لِلَّهِ وَأَتْقَاكُمْ لَهُ
“I fear Allah and am mindful of Him more than you.”
Akhshākum and atqākum are comparative expressions; the ending -kum addresses the group. Inni and the emphatic lām reinforce the statement.
لَكِنِّي أَصُومُ وَأُفْطِرُ
“But I fast and also break the fast.”
Lākinnī marks the corrective contrast. True piety follows the Prophet's guidance; it is not established by independently declaring every lawful comfort off limits.
