[O God, I know not, but Thou art the knowing]: (S, TA: [in Har, p. 24, it is cited as commencing with اَلّٰهُمَّ, and therefore as a prose-saying, ascribed to Mohammad, and as adduced by some to show that الدَّارِى is allowable as an epithet applied to God:]) or, as some relate it, لَا أَدْرِ, in which the ى is elided in consequence of the frequent usage of the phrase; like the phrases لَمْ أُبَلْ and لَمْ يَكُ; and like لَا يَأْلُ in the saying أَقْبَلَ بِضَرْبَهٍ لَا يَأْلُ [q. v. in art. الو]. [The saying لَا دَرَيْتُ وَلَا ٱئْتَليْتَ or أَلَيْتَ &c. is explained in the latter part of the first paragraph of art. الو.] One says, مَا أَدْرِى أَىُّ النَّاسِ هُوَ [I know not who of mankind he is]. And IAar mentions the saying مَا تَدْرِى مَا دِرْيْتُهَا, or دُرَيْتُهَا, as meaning Thou knowest not (مَا تَعْلَمُ [which may also be rendered she knows not]) what is her knowledge.لَا هُمَّ لَا أَدْرِى وَأَنْتَ الدَّارِى
