THIRD QUALITY OF ELOQUENCE: Sometimes the Qur an explains Almighty God's acts in detail, then sums them up with a summary. It convinces with the details and commits it to the memory and fixes it there by summarizing it. For example:

Thus will your Sustainer choose you and teach you the interpretation of events and perfect His favour to you and to the posterity of Jacob — even as He perfected it to your fathers Abraham and Isaac aforetime; indeed, your Sustainer is All-Knowing, All-Wise.¹²³

With this verse, it points out the bounties bestowed on the Prophet Joseph and his forefathers. It says: "Out of all mankind Divine favour has ennobled you with the rank of prophethood; tied all the lines of prophethood to your line and made it the chief of all lineages among mankind; it has made your family a cell of instruction and guidance in the Divine sciences and dominical wisdom, and united in you through that knowledge and wisdom, prosperous worldly dominion and the eternal happiness of the hereafter; and it has made you both a mighty ruler of Egypt, and a high prophet, and a wise guide, and has distinguished you and your forefathers with knowledge and wisdom." It enumerates these Divine bounties, then it says: Indeed, your Sustainer is All-Knowing, All-Wise. "His dominicality and wisdom require that He made manifest in you and your fathers and forefathers the Divine Names of All-Knowing and All-Wise." Thus, it sums up those detailed bounties with this summary.

And, for example:

          O God! Lord of All Dominion, You give power to whom You will.¹²⁴

This verse shows Almighty God's disposals in mankind's social life in such a way that it ties glory and abasement, poverty and riches directly to Almighty God's will and wish. It means, "Even the disposals most dispersed through the levels of multiplicity are through Divine will and determining. Chance and coincidence cannot interfere." After making this statement, it mentions the most important matter in man's life, his sustenance. This verse proves with one or two introductory phrases that man's sustenance is sent directly from the True Provider's treasury of mercy. It is like this: "Your sustenance is tied to the earth's life, and the earth's being raised to life looks to the spring, and the spring is in the hands of the One Who subjugates the sun and the moon, and alternates the night and the day. In which case, only the One Who fills the face of the earth with all the fruits can give an apple to someone as true sustenance. Only He can be his true Provider." Then it says:

And You give sustenance to whom You please without measure.¹²⁵

It summarizes and proves those detailed acts in this sentence. That is, "The One Who gives you unlimited sustenance is He Who performs these acts."
