Anlam
What is meant by "out loud/clearly" (jahrah) in this āyah?
Cevap
Imām Ibn al-Jawzī (d. 597/1201) summarized the scholars' opinions in his book "Zād al-Masīr" as follows:
- It is a description of their statement, meaning: they proclaimed it loudly. [Ibn ʿAbbās, Abū ʿUbaydah]
- It means clear and direct vision, meaning: they asked to see Allah without any veil between them and Him. [Al-Zajjāj]
