A verse and its Tafsir.
0:03
Allah the Exalted says:
0:07
"So your sight today is sharp."
0:13
"Sharp" means keen and powerful.
0:16
Al-Raghib, may Allah have mercy on him, said:
0:19
"I sharpened the knife,"
0:21
meaning I thinned its edge,
0:23
and "I made it sharp,"
0:25
meaning I gave it an edge.
0:27
Then, it is applied to that which is refined in its nature, whether in physical constitution or meaning,
0:32
such as sight and insight.
0:34
"Sharp" (hadid),
0:36
so it is said,
0:38
"sharp of vision" or "sharp of understanding."
0:40
And it is said,
0:42
"a sharp tongue,"
0:44
meaning cutting and piercing,
0:46
having the impact of iron.
0:48
"They strike you with sharp tongues."
