“It is well and good”

Explanation

These readings represent linguistic options for this construct and are identical in meaning. (NB: a fourth option, transmitted from Abū ʿAmr, Qālūn and Shuʿbah, has an overshort vowel (ikhtilās), a medium option between the first and third readings here.)

He has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book in truth, confirming what came before it, as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel
