Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ الاٌّقَاوِيلِ - لأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِالْيَمِينِ - ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ الْوَتِينَ (And if he had forged a false saying concerning Us, We surely would have seized him by his right hand, And then We certainly would have cut off his life artery.) (69:44-46) Allah said;إِنَّهُ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهِ خَبِيرًا بَصِيرًا(Verily, He is Ever the All-Knower, the All-Seer of His servants.
