Question : The questioner says: We heard during the prayer a verse that says: [Taha 20:54] What is the meaning of "those of understanding"?
Answer : "Al-Nuhay" is the plural of "nahiyyah," and "nahiyyah" is the intellect. The intellect is called "nahiyyah" because it restrains its owner from what is not praiseworthy. So the meaning of "for those of understanding" is for those of intellects. It is exactly like His saying "for those of understanding" (al-Abbab).
Indeed, in that are signs for those of intelligence.
