10:53

وَيَسْتَنۢبِـُٔونَكَ أَحَقٌّ هُوَ قُلْ إِى وَرَبِّىٓ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقٌّ وَمَآ أَنتُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ

Why this meaning was chosen

The sole target is an unrooted answer particle. It directly answers the question whether the promised event is true, is reinforced by an oath to the speaker's Lord, and is followed by a second assertion that the matter is certainly true.
