Thing
The triliteral root shīn yā hamza (ش ي أ) occurs in the Quran 519 times.
Strange thing
(38:5) "Has he made the gods into One god? This is indeed a strange thing (Arab. لَشَيْءٌ, lashayon)!"
The Lord is witness over all things
(41:53) We will show them Our signs in the horizons, and within themselves, until it becomes clear to them that this is the truth. Is it not enough that your Lord is witness over all things (Arab. شَيْءٍ, shayin)?
