Why did we insert “in His knowledge” in His saying: “Indeed, I am a servant of Allah; He has given me the Scripture”?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : You resorted to inserting words, even though there is no objection to the first option, because it is specific to him,

The Shaykh : who is who is.

The questioner : In the statement of Isa, while he was an infant, “He has given me the Scripture,” you preferred the insertion of “in His knowledge,” but is there any objection to the first option being specific to him?

The Shaykh : No, if we say that we prefer this, it means that we prohibit it and say that the default is the absence of specificity. This is from one angle. The default is that Allah will not send a messenger unless he is qualified for the message, able to bear the call, and able to bear the response from others. This is what appears to be the case.
