Reader’s Entry
The indexed materials present nabaʾ (tidings) as a report connected to the unseen, distinguishing it from khabar (report), which is associated with observation or presence. This is a terminological distinction in the evidence, not a judgment about every linguistic usage.
The Meaning Supported by the Atoms
The atom [[sources/كتب/محمد-شحرور-القصص-القراني-ج1/claims/atoms/النبأ يتعلق بالغيب|Nabaʾ concerns the unseen]] links nabaʾ to a report concerning an unseen past or future. The atom [[sources/كتب/محمد-شحرور-الكتاب-والقران/claims/atoms/النبأ يختلف عن الخبر|Nabaʾ differs from khabar]] draws a boundary between nabaʾ and khabar according to each one’s relation to the unseen or to observation.
Limits of the Meaning
These materials are insufficient to equate nabaʾ with every report about the future, or to establish additional distinctions beyond the indexed passages. The context should be examined when moving to another verse or book.
