The answer

The prohibition may come in the form of a statement, which is more emphatic than the imperative form. It has several benefits, including: indicating the stability and permanence of the ruling, and that the matter, in terms of its obligatory nature and necessity, is like something that has already occurred and been realized. It may also come in the form of a statement in matters such as: confirming a ruling, praising the doer, condemning him, or informing of Allah's love, or hatred and dislike.
