CARRIED ON THIS PAGE: EIGHT ayat. Carried before and now with named commentators: 67:14, SHARED WITH NAME 30 and keyed reciprocally, now with aṭ-Ṭabarī, who takes man as the object where Ibn Kathīr prefers the Creator; 49:13, SHARED WITH NAME 42, now with aṭ-Ṭabarī and the report he gives from Ibn ʻAbbās through ʻAṭāʼ; 31:34, now with Ibn Kathīr on the five keys of the unseen and with ʻĀʼishah and Ibn Masʻūd as aṭ-Ṭabarī cites them; 66:3, now with aṭ-Ṭabarī on the naming of Ḥafṣah, on the divided reading of ʻarrafa, and on the clause the Name has to carry, that he made part known and turned away from part; 100:11, now with aṭ-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr and al-Qurṭubī, AND WITH ITS OVERCLAIM REMOVED.
ADDED: 25:59, fa-sʼal bihi khabīran, THE ONE OCCURRENCE OF THE ADJECTIVE WHOSE REFERENT THE COMMENTATORS DIVIDE OVER, with aṭ-Ṭabarī, Ibn Jurayj, Mujāhid, Shimr ibn ʻAṭiyyah and Ibn Kathīr; 35:14, wa-lā yunabbiʼuka mithlu khabīr, WHICH IS IBN FĀRIS’S OWN PROOF-TEXT FOR THE NAME, with aṭ-Ṭabarī, Qatādah and Ibn Kathīr; and 18:68, THE NOUN OF THE ROOT SAID OF A CREATURE WHO HAS NOT GOT IT, with aṭ-Ṭabarī and al-Qurṭubī. All three were quoted or leaned on in this entry and carried at no Name in the whole book. The three are appended, the five existing sub-items keep their positions, and the distinct Qurʼan-page verse count in Notes on This Edition moves from 374 to 377.
NAMED HERE BUT NOT CARRIED ON THIS PAGE: 6:59, carried at Name 19; 6:103, carried at Name 27 and Name 30; 6:18, carried at Name 46; 18:66, carried at Name 98; 34:1, 35:31, 24:30, 27:88, 18:91 and 11:111, all carried at NO Name; 6:73, carried at Name 50.
CORRECTED ON THE RECORD, THE COUNTS: computed from the Tanzil text with strip, kh-b-r gives FIFTY-TWO words in FIFTY-TWO verses, one to a verse. A widened pattern allowing up to two letters between each pair of radicals returns nothing further, so THIS ROOT HAS NO LOOK-ALIKES TO EXCLUDE, unlike b-ṣ-r, ḥ-k-m and l-ṭ-f. The forty-five adjective forms divide as: the definite al-Khabīr six times, at 6:18, 6:73, 6:103, 34:1, 66:3 and 67:14; la-khabīr twice, at 35:31 and 100:11; khabīr twenty-five times and khabīran twelve. IN EVERY ONE OF THE SIX DEFINITE OCCURRENCES THE NAME STANDS SECOND IN A PAIR and never first — al-Ḥakīm al-Khabīr at 6:18, 6:73 and 34:1, al-Laṭīf al-Khabīr at 6:103 and 67:14, al-ʻAlīm al-Khabīr at 66:3. Twenty-three of the forty-five run one formula, He is Aware of what you do, counting 11:111, 24:30 and 27:88 with their own verbs or persons (corrected in build 156). Five stand beside laṭīf, which agrees exactly with the l-ṭ-f count taken independently at Name 30; five are followed by baṣīr, each of those with ʻibādihi. The noun khubr stands twice and both are in Sūrat al-Kahf, 18:68 of a man and 18:91 of Allah; khabar twice, at 27:7 and 28:29; and akhbār three times.
CORRECTED, THE ROOT: the gloss was the desc’s own phrasing and followed no lexicon, and senseNote was null. IBN FĀRIS GIVES TWO ROOTS AND PUTS KNOWLEDGE FIRST — the first is knowledge, the second denotes softness, yieldingness and abundance — and he glosses the Name himself as the Knower of everything, citing 35:14 for it. The gloss now follows him with glossBasis ref, and a senseNote is written from the second root and from the senses of the first that are not the Name’s.
READ: Ibn Fāris, in two independent web transcriptions of the Maqāyīs entry, one of them citing volume two page 239, AND NOT IN THE PRINTED EDITION; and the whole of the Lisān al-ʻArab entry on the root, in the Dorar transcription. Lisān supplies the Name’s own definition, the Knower of what has been and what will be; khabartu l-amra akhburuhu, to know a thing as it really is; al-makhbar as the opposite of al-manẓar; the proverb that the acquaintance confirmed the report; and its quotation of 25:59 inside the entry. NOT READ for this root: al-Jawharī, ar-Rāghib al-Iṣfahānī, Ibn al-Athīr, al-Fayyūmī and az-Zabīdī, and nothing is claimed from them.
CORRECTED, THE DESC: it gave khibrah as the expert’s knowledge without a lexicon behind it, gave no count, and quoted both 25:59 and 35:14 while the page carried neither, so two of its four claims could not be checked against the book.
CORRECTED, THE REF: it carried the long citation form for Muslim 2564c, which the house forms forbid; it named no commentator, gave no count of the root, and did not carry at-Tirmidhī 3507 with its grades. All four are fixed.
CORRECTED, THE QURʼAN NOTES: none of the five carried a named commentator, and 100:11 said the Name stands alone at the end, unpaired with any other, WHICH IS TRUE OF THE PAIRING AND FALSE AS WRITTEN — twenty-six other occurrences stand with no partner Name (corrected in build 156), and 63:11 also closes its sūrah on this Name. The note now says what is true of it: the Name there takes an object, bihim, and no partner Name, at the end of its sūrah. ONE duʻāʼ, al-Bukhārī, al-Adab al-Mufrad 716.
IT HAD NO GRADE, AND NOW HAS ONE: al-Albānī graded it ṣaḥīḥ in Ṣaḥīḥ al-Adab al-Mufrad number 551, which the note states along with the chain running through an unnamed man of Baṣrah.
A SECOND CLAIM IN ITS NOTE WAS WRONG AND IS REVERSED: it said Musnad Aḥmad 19606 gives a plural wording from Abū Mūsā al-Ashʻarī graded ḥasan li-ghayrihi by al-Albānī. The wording and the Companion are right; the grade is not. 19606 runs through Abū ʻAlī, a man of Banū Kāhil, and the editors of the Musnad call its chain ḍaʻīf for his being unknown. The note now says so. TWO aḥādīth. Muslim 2564c was verified letter for letter against the dataset, from Abū Hurayrah, arabicnumber 2564.03; Muslim publishes no grade rows, so the bare ṣaḥīḥ is correct and is not an omission, and its note is kept.
ADDED: al-Bukhārī 4351 with Muslim 1064b, the answer to Khālid ibn al-Walīd — I was not commanded to bore into the hearts of people, nor to split open their bellies. It is the human limit the Name is measured against, and it is the report 18:68 needs beside it. Both wordings were taken from the dataset; al-Bukhārī has anquba qulūba n-nās and Muslim anquba ʻan qulūbi n-nās, the printed text is al-Bukhārī’s, and the variance is in the note and not in the source field.
MEDS 31: THREE DEFECTS, TWO OF THEM QUOTATIONS THAT DID NOT MATCH THE BOOK’S OWN TRANSLATIONS. It rendered 67:14 as Would He not know, who created, and He is the Subtle, the Aware, and 100:11 as Indeed their Lord, that Day, is fully acquainted with them; both now read as the Qurʼan page reads them. The third was a closing assurance about Allah’s conduct toward the reader that rested on nothing; it is replaced by the Qurʼan’s own invitation at 39:53, in the wording Name 34 carries. POEMS 31 and CH 31 read and unchanged: the poem’s one instance of a man checking that nobody was close enough to see stands inside that man’s own calculation and is repudiated in the stanzas that follow.
OPEN: one sound report gives al-Khabīr in the definite form, ʻĀʼishah’s night at al-Baqīʻ, la-yukhbirannī l-Laṭīfu l-Khabīr, at Muslim 974b and an-Nasāʼī 2037, 3963 and 3964 (corrected in build 156); whether the Hadith page carries it, in an English of the author’s, is his to decide (A41; carried from build 182, in his English), and meanwhile the page carries two reports of nearest meaning and says so.
OPEN: al-Adab al-Mufrad is not in the hadith dataset, so 716 was graded from al-Albānī’s published verdict as several independent transcriptions report it, and not from a primary text.
OPEN: Ibn Fāris was read in transcription rather than in print.
AUDIT: the count of 52 was taken by matching every word whose consonants run khāʼ, bāʼ, rāʼ in that order with at most one weak letter between them, printing all eight distinct forms and reading the list by hand, then widening the gap to two letters to confirm that nothing was missed.
COHERENCE: Name 1 said 25:59 was carried at NO Name, and carrying it here falsifies that; the sentence is corrected in place at Name 1 and nothing else there is touched. No SHARED_LOCI key changes: the three added verses are carried at no other Name, and the existing links from this page, 67:14 to Name 30 and 49:13 to Name 42, keep their indices because the additions are appended.
AUDIT AFTER NAME 65: the Qurʼan link for 49:13 to Name 42 was of the kind the reader shows as Also at, which says the same text is printed there, and that page prints different Arabic; it is now shown as Another portion at.
IN BUILD 156, FROM THE PHASE 2 READING: the OPEN item names the one sound report that gives the Name in the definite form, ʻĀʼishah’s night at al-Baqīʻ (Muslim 974b; an-Nasāʼī 2037, 3963 and 3964); carrying it waits on the author (A41). The desc gives all but one of the forty-five as surely said of Allah, 25:59 the one divided over. The ref and the count record name the three of the formula with their own verb or person, 11:111, 24:30 and 27:88, and 11:111 joins the named line; the record of the unpaired occurrences gives twenty-six besides 100:11. The ref names Ibn Mājah 3861’s list beside at-Tirmidhī 3507’s. The report of Khālid’s question is cited al-Bukhārī 4351 alone, Muslim 1064b having anquba ʻan qulūbi n-nās, as its note says; its grade stands. The reflection’s scholars wait on the author (A42).
BY THE AUTHOR’S DECISIONS OF 2026-09-25, IN BUILD 182: Muslim 974b is carried on the Ḥadīth page in his English, linked with Name 30, and the OPEN item says so in place (A41); 49:13 reads The most noble of you before Allah is the most mindful of Allah among you. Truly Allah is Knowing, All-Aware: most noble is Name 42’s own word and All-Aware this Name’s, and Name 42 takes the rest (A23, A42); MEDS 31 quotes the verse of despair in Name 34’s English, one English for it (A45); the reflection’s line on the scholars waits on the reading of al-Ghazālī (A42).
IN BUILD 205, BY THE AUTHOR’S DECISION: A42 is applied by its reading: al-Ghazālī’s al-Maqṣad al-Asnā at al-Khabīr (p. 103), read through Shamela’s page reader, not in print, says the Name is in the sense of al-ʻAlīm, but knowledge joined to hidden inward things is called khibrah; MEDS 31 now gives the line to him, the rest of its sentence the author’s.
