00:00:00.620 --> 00:00:03.620
A verse and its Tafsir.

00:00:03.620 --> 00:00:07.459
Allah the Exalted says:

00:00:07.459 --> 00:00:13.150
"So your sight today is sharp."

00:00:13.150 --> 00:00:16.149
"Sharp" means keen and powerful.

00:00:16.149 --> 00:00:19.339
Al-Raghib, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

00:00:19.339 --> 00:00:21.339
"I sharpened the knife,"

00:00:21.339 --> 00:00:23.339
meaning I thinned its edge,

00:00:23.339 --> 00:00:25.379
and "I made it sharp,"

00:00:25.379 --> 00:00:27.379
meaning I gave it an edge.

00:00:27.379 --> 00:00:32.500
Then, it is applied to that which is refined in its nature, whether in physical constitution or meaning,

00:00:32.500 --> 00:00:34.500
such as sight and insight.

00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:36.500
"Sharp" (hadid),

00:00:36.500 --> 00:00:38.500
so it is said,

00:00:38.500 --> 00:00:40.500
"sharp of vision" or "sharp of understanding."

00:00:40.500 --> 00:00:42.500
And it is said,

00:00:42.500 --> 00:00:44.500
"a sharp tongue,"

00:00:44.500 --> 00:00:46.500
meaning cutting and piercing,

00:00:46.500 --> 00:00:48.500
having the impact of iron.

00:00:48.500 --> 00:00:53.140
"They strike you with sharp tongues."

00:00:53.140 --> 00:00:55.140
Mufradat al-Qur'an,

00:00:55.140 --> 00:00:57.140
by Al-Raghib al-Isfahani.
