from Ibn ʿAbbās: "in which there is no doubt", he said: in which there is no uncertainty.

256- Al-Qāsim b. al-Ḥasan narrated to us, he said: al-Ḥusayn narrated to us, he said: Ḥajjāj narrated to me, from Ibn Jurayj, he said: Ibn ʿAbbās said: "in which there is no doubt", he says: in which there is no uncertainty.

257- Al-Ḥasan b. Yaḥyā narrated to us, he said: ʿAbd al-Razzāq narrated to us, he said: Maʿmar informed us, from Qatāda: "in which there is no doubt", he says: in which there is no uncertainty.

258- I was told on the authority of ʿAmmār b. al-Ḥasan, he said: ʿAbd Allāh b. Abī Jaʿfar narrated to us, from his father, from al-Rabīʿ b. Anas: His statement "in which there is no doubt", he says: in which there is no uncertainty (1).

It is a verbal noun from the speaker's saying: "The thing caused me doubt (rābanī), it causes me doubt (yarībunī), a doubt (rayban)." From that is the saying of Sāʿida b. Juʾayya al-Hudhalī:

So they said: We left the tribe having surrounded him, ... so there is no doubt that there was a slain man there (2)

It is transmitted as: "ḥaṣarū" and "ḥaṣirū", and the fatḥa is more common, while the kasra is permissible. He means by his statement "ḥaṣarū bihi": they surrounded him. And he means by his statement "no doubt": no uncertainty in it. And by his statement "that there was a slain man (laḥīm) there", he means a killed man; it is said: he has been slain (luḥima), when he is killed.

The pronoun "it" in "in it" refers back to the Book, as if He said: There is no uncertainty in that Book that it is from God, a guidance for the God-fearing.
