    قُلِ ٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثُواْۖ لَهُۥ غَيۡبُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ أَبۡصِرۡ بِهِۦ وَأَسۡمِعۡۚ مَا لَهُم مِّن دُونِهِۦ مِن وَلِيّٖ وَلَا يُشۡرِكُ فِي حُكۡمِهِۦٓ أَحَدٗا

    Transliteration:( Qulil laahu a'lamu bimaa labisoo lahoo ghaibus samaawaati wal ardi absir bihee wa asmi'; maa lahum min doonihee minw waliyyinw wa laa yushriku fee hukmihee ahadaa )

    26. Say, “Allah knows best how long they stayed.” [58] To Him belongs the unseen of the heavens and the earth. How well He sees and how well He hears! [59] They have no protector besides Him, [60] and He associates no one in His command. [61]. (Kanzul Imaan Translation)

    (26) Say, "Allāh is most knowing of how long they remained. He has [knowledge of] the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth. How Seeing is He and how Hearing! They have not besides Him any protector, and He shares not His legislation with anyone." (Saheen International Translation)

    58.On hearing this verse, the people of Najraan said the period of three hundred years is fine, but why the increase of these nine years. In response, this verse was revealed to inform them that you do not understand the difference between the solar and lunar months. It should be remembered that the solar calendar has ten days more than the lunar calendar. In terms of this in a period of three years, one month has to be added to it, and in thirty-six years there is a difference of one full year. This is an estimated difference. Thus, for every hundred years there is a difference of three years.

    59.By this is meant the hearing and seeing capacity of Allah Almighty is so strong and powerful that you would express astonishment at these. The words how excellent He sees and how He hears are used to

    denote intense astonishment. 

    60. This means there is no true helper of the inmates of the heavens and the earth besides Allah Almighty. Or, there is no real helper for the infidels. Those whom they are regarding as helpers are under a delusion. Thus, this verse does not contradict the following verse: "Only Allah is your Friend and His Messenger" (S5:V55).

    61. The true and absolute authority is Allah's, all other rulers besides Him are merely superficial and worldly rulers. Thus, this verse does not contradict the following verse: "Then appoint an arbiter from the side of the family" (S4:V35).
