Why did Allah Almighty say: (So be patient under the ruling of your Lord, for verily you are in Our eyes) using "in Our eyes" instead of "in Our eye"?
The letter "باء" (baʼ) can carry the meaning of the circumstantial "in," as in the Almighty’s saying: "And indeed, you pass by them in the morning. And by night." (Qur’an 37:137-138); and "And Allah has already helped you at Badr" (Qur’an 3:123); and "We saved them at dawn" (Qur’an 54:34); and "their light will proceed before them and on their right" (Qur’an 57:12). As for the "باء" (baʼ) in "for indeed, you are in Our eyes" (Qur’an 52:48), it denotes accompaniment, meaning under Allah’s sight, protection, and care.
