Surah Maryam — 19:50

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُم مِّن رَّحْمَتِنَا وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ عَلِيًّا

Wa wahabnaa lahum mirrahmatinaa wa ja'alnaa lahum lisaana sidqin 'aliyyaa

اور ان کو اپنی رحمت سے (بہت سی چیزیں) عنایت کیں۔ اور ان کا ذکر جمیل بلند کیا

And we granted them of our mercy, and gave them a true and lofty renown.

Reflection

The gift is other people's speech: lisān ṣidq is literally a tongue of truth, a name that later generations keep saying well, and Ibrahim had asked for those exact words for himself at 26:84. The command opening the next verse, to mention Musa in the Book, is that renown still being paid out — the surah keeps doing what the verse promises. Every line around it closes on the same -iyyā rhyme.
