The Shaykh :"So among the examples of *ifrad* (singular attribution) is His saying, the Exalted: [Al-Mulk 67:1]" "In His hand" is singular. "And His saying, the Exalted: " "Tasna' (make you grow up)" means to raise or nurture. To whom is the address directed? To Musa (Moses). The making or crafting of every thing is according to its nature, so the making of a human being means his upbringing. And he said: Is there anyone among you who understands that "tasna' 'ala 'ayni" (make you grow up before Our eyes) means that you are placed upon it? Yes? Absolutely no one understands that, neither in terms of the wording nor in terms of the meaning. As for the meaning, it is because we know that Musa (peace and blessings be upon him) was raised on the earth, not upon the eye of Allah. As for the wording, an expression like "tasna' 'ala 'ayni" means that I see you with my eye, I watch you, and I observe you; that is its meaning, and it accepts no other. However, the point of this hadith, of this verse, which we brought as evidence, is for what? For *ifrad* (singular attribution): "before Our eyes."
