quran:10:67 –

It is He who made for you the night to rest therein and the day, giving sight. Indeed in that are signs for a people who listen.  

He it is Who made for you the night that you should rest therein, and the day to see: the attribution of sight (ibsār) to ‘the day’ is figurative, since one is able to see during it. Surely in that are signs, indications of His Oneness, exalted be He, for a folk who are able to hear, hearing ˹in such a way so as˺ to reflect and be admonished.
القرآن:١٠:٦٧ –

هُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ اللَّيْلَ لِتَسْكُنُوا فِيهِ وَالنَّهَارَ مُبْصِرًا ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يَسْمَعُونَ  

{هو الذي جعل لكم الليل لتسكنوا فيه والنهار مبصرا} إسناد الإبصار إليه مجاز لأنه يبصر فيه {إن في ذلك لآيات} دلالات على وحدانيته تعالى {لقوم يسمعون} سماع تدبر واتعاظ.

quran:27:86 –

Do they not see that We made the night that they may rest therein and the day giving sight? Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.  

Do they not see that We made, We created, the night that they, like others, may rest in it, and the day for sight?, meaning, ˹for people˺ to see in it, so that they may go about their business therein. Surely in that there are signs, indications of His power, exalted be He, for a people who believe — they ˹the believers˺ are singled out for mention because they benefit from such ˹signs˺ in their faith, in contrast to the disbelievers.
القرآن:٢٧:٨٦ –

أَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّا جَعَلْنَا اللَّيْلَ لِيَسْكُنُوا فِيهِ وَالنَّهَارَ مُبْصِرًا ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ  

{ألم يروا أنا جعلنا} خلقنا {الليل ليسكنوا فيه} كغيرهم {والنهار مبصراً} بمعنى يبصر فيه ليتصرفوا فيه {إن في ذلك لآيات} دلالات على قدرته تعالى {لقوم يؤمنون} خصوا بالذكر لانتفاعهم بها في الإيمان بخلاف الكافرين.
quran:40:61 –

It is Allah who made for you the night that you may rest therein and the day giving sight. Indeed, Allah is full of bounty to the people, but most of the people are not grateful.  

God it is Who made for you night that you may rest in it, and day for seeing — the attribution of sight (ibsār) to ‘day’ is figurative, and it is ˹so attributed˺ because one is able to see in it. Surely God is a Lord of bounty to mankind, but most people are not thankful, to God, and so they do not believe.
القرآن:٤٠:٦١ –

اللَّهُ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ اللَّيْلَ لِتَسْكُنُوا فِيهِ وَالنَّهَارَ مُبْصِرًا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَشْكُرُونَ  

{الله الذي جعل لكم الليل لتسكنوا فيه والنهار مبصرا} إسناد الإبصار إليه مجازيّ لأنه يبصر فيه {إن الله لذو فضل على الناس ولكن أكثر الناس لا يشكرون} الله فلا يؤمنون.
