Aya 84
84
إِنّا مَكَّنّا لَهُ فِي الأَرضِ وَآتَيناهُ مِن كُلِّ شَيءٍ سَبَبًا

Muhammad Asad

Behold, We established him securely on earth, and endowed him with [the knowledge of] the right means to achieve anything1 [that he might set out to achieve];
  • According to Ibn 'Abbas, Mujahid, Sa'id ibn Jubayr, 'Ikrimah, Qatadah and Ad-Dahhak (all of them quoted by Ibn Kathir), the term sabab - lit., "a means to achieve [anything]" - denotes, in this context, the knowledge of the right means for the achievement of a particular end.
