Yūnus related to me, saying: Ibn Wahb informed us, saying: Ibn Zayd said concerning His word: فَلا أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُونَ * وَمَا لا تُبْصِرُونَ ("But no, I swear by what you see and by what you do not see"), he said: He swore by the things, until He swore by what you see and by what you do not see.
Muḥammad ibn Saʿd related to me, saying: my father related to me, saying: my uncle related to me, saying: my father related to me, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Ibn ʿAbbās, concerning His word: فَلا أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُونَ * وَمَا لا تُبْصِرُونَ ("But no, I swear by what you see and by what you do not see"), he says: by what you see and by what you do not see.
