* تفسير Tafsir al-Jalalayn

{ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَّهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ }

Nor is there anyone equal to Him’ neither match nor comparison lahu ‘to Him’ is semantically connected to kufuwan ‘equal’ but precedes it because it is the object of the intended negation; ahadun ‘anyone’ which is the subject of yakun ‘is there’ has been placed after the predicate of the latter kufuwan ‘equal’ in order to retain the harmony of the end-rhyme of the verses.
