* تفسير Tafsir al-Jalalayn


{ وَعَلَّمَ ءَادَمَ ٱلأَسْمَآءَ كُلَّهَا ثُمَّ عَرَضَهُمْ عَلَى ٱلْمَلَٰئِكَةِ فَقَالَ أَنْبِئُونِي بِأَسْمَآءِ هَـٰؤُلاۤءِ إِن كُنْتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ }

And He taught Adam the names that is the names of things named all of them by placing knowledge of them into his heart; then He presented them these names the majority of which concerned intellectual beings to the angels and said to them in reproach ‘Now tell Me inform Me the names of these things named if you speak truly’ in your claim that I would not create anything more knowledgeable than you or that you are more deserving of this vicegerency; the response to the conditional sentence is intimated by what precedes it.
