وإياك نستعين﴾ قال هذه الآية، بيني وبين عبدي نصفين، ولعبدي ما سأل، فإذا قال ﴿اهدنا الصراط المستقيم﴾ إلى آخر السورة قال هؤلاء لعبدي، ولعبدي ما سأل١١
And You alone we ask for help. He said: This verse divides, between Me and My servant, into two parts; to My servant belongs what he asked. So when he says "Guide us to the Straight Path" until the end of the surah, He said: These belong to My servant, and to My servant belongs what he asked.
نِصْفَيْنِ two halves
This is the dual, a dedicated form for 'exactly two' that English lacks. Where English needs the extra word 'two', Arabic folds 'two halves' into the ending of the noun itself, so the count is carried by the word's shape. It states that the verse is split into precisely two parts.
The English is machine-translated.
