Different prints of Kanzul Iman (e.g., Madani, Faridiyya, Darul Kutub) have varying pagination. If your page 258 covers a different verse (e.g., from Surah An-Nisa or Surah Al-An’am), please reply with the opening Arabic/Urdu words of that page, and I will rewrite the blog post specifically for that passage.
