Kashf al-Ma'aanee of Ibn Jama'aah - Juzz 28

Surah al-Hashr 


هُوَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ ۖ هُوَ الرَّحْمَٰنُ الرَّحِيمُ
“the All-Knower of the unseen and the seen (open).” [59:22]

The unseen is mentioned before the seen because knowing the unseen entails greater praise, as the unseen is far greater than the seen in existence. 
Also, the unseen entails Knowing the Pre-Decree, and Allaah Knew the Pre-Decree (unseen) even before it became manifest (seen). 

Surah Al-Munaafiqoon


وَلَٰكِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لَا يَفْقَهُونَ
“the hypocrites comprehend not” [63:7]

and 


وَلَٰكِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ 
“the hypocrites know not” [63:8]

The hypocrites are deprived of comprehension and knowledge. They are deprived of realizing the Power of Allaah and that He Provides, the Most High; so if He Abstains from Providing in one instance, He Will Grant His Provision on other instances. Understanding this needs a great deal of Emaan and understanding; the treasures belong to Allaah, the Glorified and the Exalted, but “the hypocrites comprehend not”.

Likewise, power and honour is Decreed by Allaah, the Glorified. He Elevates whom He Pleases and Debases whom He Pleases, He Gives to whom He Pleases and Abstains from whom He Pleases – none has the right to do this except Allaah Alone. Those who know Allaah, the Most High, know this and those who are ignorant of it will be manifest on their tongues and actions, “But honour, power and glory belong to Allah, His Messenger (Muhammad), and to the believers, but the hypocrites know not.”
