And what should make thee know what Sijjin is?
Commentary:
It is worthy of note that two expressions of almost identical import have been used in the Quran, viz. ما أدرک and ما یدریک, both meaning, "what should make thee know." The former expression is used in answer to an inquiry in the past tense, thus making the answer definite and certain. The latter expression is invariably followed by the word لعل which connotes that the answer is vague and indefinite.
