  He said: They say: No, by Allah, O Lord, they have not seen it.

• كما قال تعالى ﴿فَوَرَبِّ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ إِنَّهُ لَحَقٌّ مِثْلَ مَا أَنَّكُمْ تَنْطِقُونَ﴾

  As Allah the Exalted said: 'By the Lord of the heavens and the earth, indeed, it is the truth just as you are speaking.'

  فَوَرَبِّ — By the Lord. Several pieces in one word: an opening 'so', an oath-marking 'by', and the noun 'Lord' heading the pairing 'Lord of the heavens'. The oath-'by' both swears and governs the noun into the required form, so the word launches an oath, 'so by the Lord of...'.
