so that the people of the scripture may know that they have no power whatsoever over the grace of allah and that grace is in his hand to bestow it on whomsoever he wills. and allah is the owner of great bounty.
لئلا يعلم أهل الكتاب ألا يقدرون على شيء من فضل الله وأن الفضل بيد الله يؤتيه من يشاء والله ذو الفضل العظيم
