Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (And He was at the highest horizon)

Allah the Exalted said:

Then he approached and descended

ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّى

[Al-Najm: 8] (He drew near) to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), (and descended) meaning: he came close from above,So it was, meaning: Jibril came close to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)

at a distance of two bow lengths or nearer.

قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَى

[Al-Najm: 9] This is a metaphor used for nearness, (the distance of two bowstrings) meaning: very close, rather even closer,His saying: (or even closer) meaning: rather,Meaning: rather he was even closer than that.
(So He revealed) meaning: Jibril

to His servant what He revealed

إِلَى عَبْدِهِ مَا أَوْحَى

[Al-Najm: 10] meaning: to the servant of Allah, so the pronoun in "revealed" refers to Jibril, and the pronoun in "His servant" refers to Allah (Mighty and Majestic),Meaning: Jibril revealed to the servant of Allah what he revealed, and he did not specify what he revealed in order to honor it; for ambiguity is used to convey magnification and honor,And among His saying, the Exalted:

and there covered them from the sea that which covered them,

فَغَشِيَهُمْ مِنَ الْيَمِّ مَا غَشِيَهُمْ

[Ta-Ha: 78] meaning: something great covered them.
Here, (He revealed to His servant what He revealed) meaning: from the great thing, and there is no speech greater than the Noble Qur'an; for it is the speech of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
