''Theose who listen to the word*, and follow the best in it. These are the ones whom Allah has guided; these are the ones who possess intelligence.'' [39:18]
*if meant any word, then it would mean one listens to all that is said and accepts the best therein.
*if meant THE Word (of Allah), then it would mean one examines all the permissible actions in a situation, and does the noblest of them.
- commentary of Yusuf Ali, who prefers the 2nd version but the possibility of the first remains.
