Tafseer of The Iron · Al-Hadid · 57:4
It is He who created the heavens and earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne. He knows what penetrates into the earth and what emerges from it and what descends from the heaven and what ascends therein; and He is with you wherever you are. And Allah, of what you do, is Seeing.

And His word: (He it is who created the heavens and the earth in six days) — the Exalted, whose remembrance is exalted, says: He it is who brought into being the seven heavens and the earths, and He disposed over them and over what is in them, and thereafter He raised Himself above His Throne, so that He elevated Himself over it and was exalted.
And His word: (He knows what enters into the earth and what comes forth from it) — the Exalted, whose remembrance is exalted, says, informing of His attribute and that no hidden matter of His creation remains concealed from Him: (He knows what enters into the earth) of His creation. By His word (yaliju) He means: enters. (And what comes forth from it, and what descends from the heaven) to the earth, of whatever matter it ever may be. (And what ascends therein), that is, what climbs up therein from the earth. (And He is with you wherever you are) — He says: and He is present with you, O people, wherever you are; He knows you, and He knows your deeds, and your comings and goings and your dwelling place, while He is upon His Throne, above His seven heavens. (And Allah is seeing of what you do) — He says: and Allah, with respect to your deeds that you perform, good and evil, obedience and disobedience, is the possessor of insight, and He keeps precise account of it, in order to reward the doer of good among you for his good deed and the doer of evil for his evil, and so that every soul may be requited according to what it has earned, while no wrong is done to them.
