on
that day their Lord will indeed be Aware of them, Knower [of them] and will

the [collective] import of the term ‘man’; this sentence indicates the direct
object of [the verb] ya‘lamu, ‘[does he not] know’, that is to say, ‘We will
requite him at the time mentioned’; khabīrun, ‘Aware’, is semantically
connected to yawma’idhin, ‘on that day’, even though [in fact] God is ever
Aware, because that is the Day of Requital.
