Direct Answer
What is meant in this entry is an attribution to Shahrour that makes the pronoun in «فاسأل به خبيرًا» (“so ask of Him one well-acquainted”) refer back to «الرحمن» (“the Most Merciful”). This is not a general rule for all Qur’anic pronouns, but a claim specific to this passage as presented by the material.
What Is Attributed to Shahrour
The available evidence indicates that Shahrour holds that the pronoun refers back to the Most Merciful. However, the record is reformulated evidence and is marked as requiring review; therefore, the page provisionally establishes the basic attribution without expanding beyond it.
Atlas Explanation
The immediate linguistic consequence of this attribution is that the pronoun’s antecedent, in this reading, is not omitted or indeterminate, but “the Most Merciful.” Any interpretation of what follows from this antecedent should not be included here until episode 12 and its full context have been consulted.
Composite Conclusion
No additional composite conclusion is recorded, because the available evidence contains neither a verbatim text nor raw context that would allow a detailed relationship to be constructed between the pronoun’s reference and knowledge or laws.
Open Question and Documentation Limits
What was the original statement Shahrour made in the episode, and what context did he rely on in determining the pronoun’s antecedent? Episode 12 must be verified before adopting the expanded explanation. At the level of general reference only, the entry is also connected to The Book and the Qur’an and The Mother of the Book and Its Elaboration.
