Maarif-ul-Quran (En) - An-Nahl : 3
خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّ١ؕ تَعٰلٰى عَمَّا یُشْرِكُوْنَ
He created the heavens and the earth in the proper way. He is much higher than what they ascribe to Him as partners.
Lexical Explanation The word: خَصِیم (khasim) in verse 4 has been derived from: خُصُومۃ (khusumah) and means a quarrelsome person. Al-An’ am is the plural of na'am, which are cattles such as the camel, goat and cow. (A1-Mufradat of Raghib al-Isfahan) The word: دِفْءٌ (difun) in verse 5 denotes what provides warmth, that is, wool which is used to make warm clothings. The word: تُرِیحُون (turihun) in verse 6 is a derivation from rawah, and: تَسْرَ‌حُونَ (tasrahun) in the same verse, from saralh. When the cattle are sent to graze, it is called sarah, and when they return home, it is called rawah. The expression: بِشِقِّ الْأَنفُسِ -(shiqqil-anfus) in verse 7 means personal hardship.
