An-Nur 24:41

Word by word

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُسَبِّحُ لَهُۥ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلطَّيْرُ صَـٰٓفَّـٰتٍ ۖ كُلٌّ قَدْ عَلِمَ صَلَاتَهُۥ وَتَسْبِيحَهُۥ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌۢ بِمَا يَفْعَلُونَ

Do you not see that Allāh is exalted by whomever is within the heavens and the earth and [by] the birds with wings spread [in flight]? Each [of them] has known his [means of] prayer and exalting [Him], and Allāh is Knowing of what they do.

ألم تعلم - أيها الرسول - أن الله يُسَبِّح له مَن في السموات والأرض من المخلوقات، والطير صافات أجنحتها في السماء تسبح ربها؟ كل مخلوق قد أرشده الله كيف يصلي له ويسبحه. وهو سبحانه عليم، مُطَّلِع على ما يفعله كل عابد ومسبِّح، لا يخفى عليه منها شيء، وسيجازيهم بذلك.
