Collected by Qurʾān
quran:53:30 –

That is their sum of knowledge. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who strays from His way, and He is most knowing of who is guided.  

That, namely, the desire of this world, is the full extent of their knowledge, that is, the limit of their knowledge, namely, that they have preferred this life to ˹that of˺ the Hereafter. Truly your Lord knows best those who have strayed from His way, and He knows best those who are ˹rightly˺ guided: He has knowledge of both and will requite both.
القرآن:٥٣:٣٠ –

ذَٰلِكَ مَبْلَغُهُمْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ ضَلَّ عَنْ سَبِيلِهِ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ اهْتَدَىٰ  

{ذلك} أي طلب الدنيا {مبلغهم من العلم} أي نهاية علمهم أن آثروا الدنيا على الآخرة {إن ربك هو أعلم بمن ضل عن سبيله وهو أعلم بمن اهتدى} عالم بهما فيجازيهما.
quran:68:7 –

Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has gone astray from His way, and He is most knowing of the ˹rightly˺ guided.  

Assuredly your Lord knows best those who stray from His way, and He knows best those who are guided, to Him.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ ضَلَّ عَنْ سَبِيلِهِ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِينَ  

{إن ربك هو أعلم بمن ضل عن سبيله وهو أعلم بالمهتدين} له وأعلم بمعنى عالم.
