Does the generality in the saying of Allah the Exalted: ((And there is nothing but glorifies His praise, but you do not understand their glorification)) apply to the statement of the Companions?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student: Shaykh, does the generality in the saying of Allah the Exalted:
And there is not a thing except that it exalts [Allah] by His praise وإن مِن شيءٍ إلا يسَبِّح بحمده
[Al-Isra 17:44]
apply to the statement of the Companions that the food used to glorify between their hands, but you do not understand their glorification, in the sense that it glorified but they did not know of its glorification except by the information of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), or that it glorified in a way that anyone can understand?

The Shaykh : The apparent meaning of the texts is that it glorifies in reality, but the glorification
But you do not understand their glorificationلا تفقهون تسبيحهم
is considered in terms of the whole, not in terms of each individual. Indeed, among things are some whose glorification we hear; it glorifies completely
Indeed, We subjected the mountains [to praise] with him, exalting [Allah] in the [late] afternoon and [after] sunrise. إنَّا سخرنا الجبال معه يسبحن بالعشي والإبكار
[Sad 38:18]
. The apparent meaning is that they repeat it, as Allah the Exalted said:
O mountains, repeat [Our] praises with him, and the birds [as well]. يا جبالُ أَوِّبِي معه والطير
[Saba 34:10]
.
