He Counted, They Forgot
يَوۡمَ يَبۡعَثُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ جَمِيعࣰا فَيُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا عَمِلُوٓاْۚ أَحۡصَىٰهُ ٱللَّهُ وَنَسُوهُۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءࣲ شَهِيدٌ ٦
On the day when Allah will raise them all together and inform them of what they did. Allah hath kept account of it while they forgot it. And Allah is Witness over all things.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Allah has counted it, while they forgot it.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, that day Allah will raise them all and inform them of their deeds; though they forgot, Allah recorded it all.
