قَدْ بُيِّنَ فِيهِ التَّوْحِيدُ الَّذِي بَعَثَ اللَّهُ بِهِ رَسُولَهُ قَوْلًا وَعَمَلًا؛ فَالتَّوْحِيدُ الْقَوْلِيُّ مِثْلُ سُورَةِ الْإِخْلَاصِ: {قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ}، وَالتَّوْحِيدُ الْعَمَلِيُّ: {قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ}.

Selected explanation
The tawḥīd with which Allah sent His Messenger, in speech and action, has been explained there [in the other discussion]. Tawḥīd in speech is exemplified by Sūrat al-Ikhlāṣ: “Say: He is Allah, One”; and tawḥīd in action by: “Say: O disbelievers.”
