Verse range: 46:33
Al-Ahqaf: (33)
{بِقَادِرٍ} Its grammatical position is nominative (rafʿ) because it is the predicate of anna. This is evidenced by the reading of ʿAbd Allāh [ibn Masʿūd]: "qādirun" (without the bāʾ). The bāʾ was only introduced because the negation at the beginning of the verse encompasses anna and everything within its scope.
Al-Zajjāj said: If you were to say, "I did not think that Zayd would depart," it is permissible. It is as if it were said: "Is God not capable?" Do you not see the occurrence of balā (yes/indeed) confirming [God's] capability over all things—resurrection and otherwise—rather than confirming their seeing?
It is also read as: {يَقْدِرُ} (yaqdiru - He is capable).
It is said: "ʿayītu bi-al-amr" (I was unable to grasp the matter) when you do not know its aspect. From this is: {أَفَعَيِينَا بِالْخَلْقِ الْأَوَّلِ} (Were We then exhausted by the first creation? - Qaf: 15).
Al-Ahqaf: (34)
{وَيَوْمَ يُعْرَضُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا عَلَى النَّارِ أَلَيْسَ هَٰذَا بِالْحَقِّ ۖ قَالُوا بَلَىٰ رَبِّنَا ۚ قَالَ فَذُوقُوا الْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ}
(And the Day those who disbelieved are exposed to the Fire [it will be said], "Is this not the truth?" They will say, "Yes, by our Lord." He will say, "Then taste the punishment because you used to disbelieve.")
