ٱلنَّجْم : ٣٥

  • أَعِندَهُۥ Is with him
  • عِلۡمُ (the) knowledge
  • ٱلۡغَيۡبِ (of) the unseen
  • فَهُوَ so he
  • يَرَىٰٓ sees
Does he have knowledge of the unseen, so he sees?1
Footnotes
1 Knows that his provision will be exhausted if he spends on the poor, while Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) has promised otherwise.
Does he possess knowledge of the Unseen so that he sees?, [and therefore] from among such [knowledge] he is able to know that another person may bear the chastisement of the Hereafter for him? No! This was al-Waleed ibn al-Mugheera, or someone else (the sentence beginning with a-'indahu, 'does he possess', is the second object of the a-ra'ayta, 'have you seen', which has the significance of 'inform Me!').
