* تفسير Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs

{ وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلإِنسَانَ وَنَعْلَمُ مَا تُوَسْوِسُ بِهِ نَفْسُهُ وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ ٱلْوَرِيدِ }

(We verily created a man) the child of Adam; and it is said this means: Abu Jahl (and We know what his soul whispereth to him, and We are nearer to him) We are more aware of him and have more power over him (than his jugular vein) and there is nothing closer to man than this jugular vein.
