Is His saying, the Exalted: << تجري بأعيننا >> of the same kind as His saying, the Exalted: << مما عملت أيدينا >> in that "na" is for magnification?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... The brother's saying "with your eyes" is of the same kind as the saying of Allah, Mighty and Majestic:
from what Our hands have made مما عملت أيدينا
[Ya-Sin 36:71]


The Shaykh : Yes, here the scholars, may Allah have mercy on them, said regarding the plural: they said the plural is for magnification. The plural is for magnification. So the mention of the plural here is for the eye, to magnify it. This is from the perspective of meaning. From the perspective of wording, they said that
Narrated to us نا
is a pronoun indicating what?
The student: Magnitude

The Shaykh : It is for the plural in the original. The original
Narrated to us نا
is for the plural, which is for magnification. So it was appropriate and more eloquent that nothing be added to it except what was a plural, even if only in form, for the sake of harmony between the modifier and the modified. So the plural had two benefits: a linguistic benefit and a semantic benefit. Are you with us, my brothers? Are you with us? Do you understand what I am saying? Do you understand what I am saying? Good, fine. The semantic benefit is
The student: Magnification

The Shaykh : Magnification, because magnification indicates the plural. That is why Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says:
Indeed, We إنا نحن
even though He is One. The second benefit
The student: ...

The Shaykh : The harmony between the modifier and the modified. Yes, the time is up.
The student: The time is up...

The Shaykh : ...
The student: ... for the sake of harmony, O Shaykh
