Ikrimah said, “The one above whom there is no one⦗2⦘.”

Al-Zajjāj likewise said, “He to whom mastery culminates; to Him everything has turned⦗3⦘.”

Ibn al-Anbārī stated, “There is no difference among the linguists that al-Ṣamad is the master above whom there is no one, the one to whom people repair for their needs and affairs⦗4⦘.”

(1) Reported by Ibn Jarir, 15:346. (2) Quoted by Ibn Taymiyya in his commentary on Surat al-Ikhlas, Majmuʿ al-Fatawa, 17:216. (3) See al-Zajjaj, Maʿani al-Quran wa Iʿrabuhu, 5:377-378. (4) Transmitted by Ibn Taymiyya in his commentary on Surat al-Ikhlas, Majmuʿ al-Fatawa, 17:216. (5) The word “fahuwa” is missing from the printed edition as well as from manuscripts B and K. (6) The line is ascribed to Sabra b. ʿAmr al-Asadi; another opinion attributes it to Hind bt. Maʿbad b. Nadla as she mourns her two uncles slain by al-Nuʿman. See Abu ʿUbayda, Majaz al-Lugha, 2:316 and its marginal note.
