quran:90:5 –

Does he think that never will anyone overcome him?

Does he suppose, does the strong man of Quraysh, namely, Abū’l-Ashadd b. Kalada, presume, on account of his strength, that (an: softened in place of the hardened form, its subject omitted, that is to say, annahu) no one will have power over him? Yet God has power over him.
القرآن:٩٠:٥ –

أَيَحْسَبُ أَنْ لَنْ يَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ

{أيحسب} أيظن الإنسان قوي قريش وهو أبو الأشد بن كلدة بقوته {أن} مخففة من الثقيلة واسمها محذوف، أي أنه {لن يقدر عليه أحد} والله قادر عليه.

quran:90:7 –

Does he think that no one has seen him?

Does he suppose that (an, in other words, annahu) no one has seen him?, with regard to what he has expended to know the quantity thereof; God knows the quantity thereof; but it is not ˹in reality that much so as˺ to be considered a great amount, and ˹in any case˺ He will requite him for his evil conduct.
القرآن:٩٠:٧ –

أَيَحْسَبُ أَنْ لَمْ يَرَهُ أَحَدٌ

{أيحسب أن} أي أنه {لم يره أحد} فيما أنفقه فيعلم قدره، والله عالم بقدره وأنه ليس مما يتكثر به ومجازيه على فعله السيء.
