Al-Jawāb as-Sahīh li-man baddala dīn al-Masīh - Ibn Taimiya - (2/274)

and His words:

“When they have reached the end of their waiting-period, then keep them honorably or part with them honorably; call two just men from among you to witness, and establish the testimony for Allah. That is an admonition for anyone who believes in Allah and the Last Day.” ⦗65:2⦘

The same usage occurs in His statement—exalted is He—after relating the story of Joseph the Truthful:

“That is part of the tidings of the unseen which We reveal to you.” ⦗12:102⦘

Likewise, when He mentioned the account of Mary:

“That is part of the tidings of the unseen which We reveal to you; you were not with them when they cast their lots.” ⦗3:44⦘

And when He recounted verses concerning Noah:

“That is part of the tidings of the unseen which We reveal to you.” ⦗11:49⦘

He also said:

“Alif, Lām, Rā. These are the verses of the Clear Book. We have sent it down as an Arabic Quran so that you may understand.” ⦗12:1–2⦘

And the feminine demonstrative tilka functions exactly like the masculine dhālika; yet despite this He pointed to—

وَقَوْلِهِ: {فَإِذَا بَلَغْنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَأَمْسِكُوهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ فَارِقُوهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَأَشْهِدُوا ذَوَيْ عَدْلٍ مِنْكُمْ وَأَقِيمُوا الشَّهَادَةَ لِلَّهِ ذَلِكُمْ يُوعَظُ بِهِ مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ} [الطلاق: ٢] وَمِثْلُهُ قَوْلُهُ - تَعَالَى -: بَعْدَ أَنْ ذَكَرَ خَبَرَ يُوسُفَ الصِّدِّيقَ {ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَنْبَاءِ الْغَيْبِ نُوحِيهِ إِلَيْكَ} [يوسف: ١٠٢] وَقَالَ أَيْضًا: لَمَّا ذَكَرَ خَبَرَ مَرْيَمَ: {ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَنْبَاءِ الْغَيْبِ نُوحِيهِ إِلَيْكَ وَمَا كُنْتَ لَدَيْهِمْ إِذْ يُلْقُونَ أَقْلَامَهُمْ} [آل عمران: ٤٤] ; كَمَا قَالَ: لَمَّا ذَكَرَ آيَاتٍ يُخْبِرُ فِيهَا عَنْ نُوحٍ {تِلْكَ مِنْ أَنْبَاءِ الْغَيْبِ نُوحِيهَا إِلَيْكَ} [هود: ٤٩] وَقَالَ: {الر - تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ - إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ} [يوسف: ١ - ٢] وَتِلْكَ فِي الْمُؤَنَّثِ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ فِي الْمُذَكَّرِ وَمَعَ هَذَا فَأَشَارَ إِلَى
