quran:101:3 –

And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?

And what will show you, ˹what˺ will make known to you, what the Clattering Blow is? — additional emphasis of its awesomeness (the first mā is a subject, and what follows it is its predicate; the second mā and its predicate also function together as the second direct object of ˹the verb˺ adrā, ‘show’).

القرآن:١٠١:٣ –

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْقَارِعَةُ

{وما أدراك} أعلمك {ما القارعة} زيادة تهويل لها وما الأولى مبتدأ وما بعدها خبره وما الثانية وخبرها في محل المفعول الثاني لأدرى.
