ٱلْبَقَرَة : ٣٣

  • قَالَ He said
  • يَٰٓـَٔادَمُ O Adam!
  • أَنۢبِئۡهُم Inform them
  • بِأَسۡمَآئِهِمۡۖ of their names
  • فَلَمَّآ And when
  • أَنۢبَأَهُم he had informed them
  • بِأَسۡمَآئِهِمۡ of their names
  • قَالَ He said
  • أَلَمۡ Did not
  • أَقُل I say
  • لَّكُمۡ to you
  • إِنِّيٓ Indeed, I
  • أَعۡلَمُ [I] know
  • غَيۡبَ (the) unseen
  • ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ (of) the heavens
  • وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ and the earth
  • وَأَعۡلَمُ and I know
  • مَا what
  • تُبۡدُونَ you reveal
  • وَمَا and what
  • كُنتُمۡ you [were]
  • تَكۡتُمُونَ conceal
He said, "O Adam, inform them of their names." And when he had informed them of their names, He said, "Did I not tell you that I know the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth? And I know what you reveal and what you have concealed."
He, exalted be He, said, 'Adam, tell them, the angels, their names', all of the things named; so, he named each thing by its appellation and mentioned the wisdom behind its creation; And when he had told them their names He, exalted, said, in rebuke, 'Did I not tell you that I know the Unseen in the skies and the earth?, what is unseen in them, And I know what you reveal, what you manifested when you said, 'What, will You appoint therein .', and what you were hiding, what you were keeping secret when you were saying that God would not create anything more knowledgeable or more noble in His eyes than us.
