جواب
Imām Ibn al-Jawzī (d. 597/1201) summarized the scholars' opinions in his book "Zād al-Masīr" as follows:
- It means "everything else" as in the other ayah: "And lawful for you is what is beyond that" (4:24). [al-Farrāʾ, Muqātil]
- It means “what came after the revelation sent down to them.” [al-Zajjāj]
