As for the grey circle it is not
protected from having a liar enter
into it, so it would not be correct to
depend on the ones in it nor believe
them. However, sometimes it can be
protected from the liar after he
enters, as a mercy for the servants,
even though they do not have an
excuse for following whoever is in
that circle. So the verse could be
applied to that circle, but it is not
incumbent that it be applied. As for
the third circle, it is black, and it is
not protected from having a liar
enter into it. Rather, it is the circle
of liars and it is very clear that it is
the circle of liars, so there is no
