And His saying, the Almighty: {an unjust division}

Meaning unfair, and it is on the pattern 'fa'la', like 'tubba' and 'hubla'. They only broke the 'dad' so that the 'ya' would be sound; because there is no 'fa'la' pattern for an adjective in speech, rather it is from the pattern of nouns like 'al-shi'ra' and 'al-difla'.
