Then say: 'My Lord is Allaah, -(ف is f of explanation الفصيحة -Don't disdain the belief in this simple question -Definition of Rab -Elaborating more on the issue of 'Are we going to be tested about lordship (Rububiyyah) and not worship (Uluhiyyah) in the grave?' 2 ways scholars included Uluhiyyah under Rubuiyyah فَقُلْ : رَبِّيَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي رَبَّانِي وَرَبَّى جَمِيعَ العَالَمِينَ بِنِعَمِهِ SAY: 'My Lord is Allaah, who has nurtured me and all of creation with His favors and blessings, وَهُوَ مَعْبُودِي He is the one whom I worship! After establishing the foundation of Rubuiyyah in the question he mentioned Uluhiyyah to show it's included in the question. لَيْسَ لِي مَعْبُودٌ سِوَاهُ and there is no other whom I worship besides Him -He used nafy and ithbaat (affirming only lord and denying all others besides him)
