within them.

The first extra phrase is attributed to him in one transmission and to other transmitters in another.
The second extra phrase occurs in the hadith of Qays ibn Sad as recorded by Ibn Nasr.
The third extra phrase appears in a narration preserved by al-Bukhari, and likewise the fourth; the latter comes in the hadith of Malik and is also related by Ibn Nasr with the wording: “You are Allah.”
The final extra phrase is reported by al-Darimi, Ibn Majah and al-Tabarani.
(1) That is: the One who gives them their light, and by Your light the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth are guided.
(2) Meaning: their Preserver and Protector. In the narration of Abu al-Zubayr and of Qays ibn Sad the word appears as “qayyam,” on the pattern of “allam,” i.e. the One who continually manages and directs the heavens and everything else.
(3) The same narration also includes the word “Rabb” (Lord).
(4) The scholars state that al-Haqq, one of the divine names, means “the One whose existence is absolutely real.” Everything whose existence is verified is called haqq. From the same root comes al-Haqqah, “the event that is truly certain, without doubt.” Likewise, in this hadith the Prophet ﷺ says: “Your promise is haqq, Your speech is haqq …,” meaning that all of it is undoubtedly real. This was noted by al-Nawawi.
(5) The text contains an explicit affirmation of resurrection after death, describing the ultimate destiny of creation in the Hereafter with respect to recompense for deeds.
