meaning that he neither feared nor cared—most lexicographers and Quran commentators disagree with this. They explained that they had not found “hope” expressing the meaning of fear unless accompanied by a negation. In that case, “fear” may convey either hope or fear, and the same applies to “hope,” as in the words of Allah, Mighty and Majestic:

“Who do not expect the days of Allah” [al-Jāthiyah 14].

This refers to those who do not fear the days of Allah.
