| وَإِذَا سَمِعُوا مَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَى الرَّسُولِ تَرَىٰ أَعْيُنَهُمْ تَفِيضُ مِنَ الدَّمْعِ مِمَّا عَرَفُوا مِنَ الْحَقِّ ۖ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا آمَنَّا فَاكْتُبْنَا مَعَ الشَّاهِدِينَ |

Note - 98Regarding this rendering of the phrase mimma 'arafu min
al-haqq, see Zamakhshari and Razi; also Manar VII, 12. As
for my translation of the expression idha sami'u as "when
they come to understand", it is to be noted that beyond
its primary significance of "he heard", the verb sami'a
has often the meaning of "he understood" or "came to
understand" (cf. Lane IV, 1427).
