So this is the apparent meaning of the verse where the wording is not from where the meaning; because if we said this is its apparent meaning where the when is the meaning; it would be an apparent disbelief of the Quran, and this is impossible, and for this reason the expressions of the grammarians differed in deriving this verse on sayings: The first saying: the letter 'kaf' is extra, and that the estimation of the speech is 'there is nothing like it', and this saying is comfortable, and the addition of letters in negation is much.
