Explanation of the author's statement: "And among the examples of collective nouns is His saying, the Exalted: (Have they not seen that We created for them from what Our hands have produced livestock?) (It moves by Our eyes)"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And among the examples of collective nouns is His saying, the Exalted:
Do they not see that We have created for them from what Our hands have made, grazing livestock أولم يروا أنا خلقنا لهم مما عملت أيدينا أنعاما
[Ya-Sin 36:71]
"
Do they see, or do they know, or do they witness? Here it is "know," because knowledge is broader than witnessing; I know whether through hearing or through witnessing.
We have created for them from what Our hands have made أنا خلقنا لهم مما عملت أيدينا
[Ya-Sin 36:71]
, "Our hands" is the collective form of "livestock," which includes camels and other livestock. So here he said
from what Our hands have made مما عملت أيدينا
[Ya-Sin 36:71]
the collective form of "livestock"
and [then] they are their owners? فهم لها مالكون
[Ya-Sin 36:71]
, and his saying regarding the eye "
It runs with our eyes تجري بأعيننا
"
means the ship of Noah, which moves while we see it with Our eyes and we protect and preserve it.
