Verse (4:78)

The analysis above refers to the 78th verse of chapter 4 (sūrat l-nisāa):

Sahih International: Wherever you may be, death will overtake you, even if you should be within towers of lofty construction. But if good comes to them, they say, "This is from Allah "; and if evil befalls them, they say, "This is from you." Say, "All [things] are from Allah." So what is [the matter] with those people that they can hardly understand any statement?

Abdul Rahman 28th April, 2016 In four places in the Qur'an (4:78:30, 18:49:10, 25:7:2, and 70:36:1) the preposition "lam" is separated from its "ism majroor" orthographically. This spelling peculiarity in the Quranic Mushaf is a sunnah, since this is the way the word was spelt in the presence of the Prophet (peace be upon him). This is what is stated in Bahjat, our main reference work: وقد فصلت اللام عن اسم الإشارة خارجة عن أوضاع الخط العربي وخط المصحف سنة لا تغير
