مَن
Is used to refer to a being, we know this is only one being since the word is only used for that which has life, also later on comes يخسف again one being.
This is a relative noun, mentioned in 3 locations: من - يخسف - وإليه
But are they all one?!

فِي
This is called or referred to as a letter. It is used in many different ways:
-physical location or time في المدرسة
-figurative location or time في قناعة
-reason في هرة
-filling a hidden word في خير الله
-comparison متاع الدنيا في الآخرة
-replacing ب - إلى - مع - على

السماء
Samaa originally doesn’t mean sky, it simply means above you; physically & figuratively.
سماء بيتك سقفك
Essentially, anything not on land (or earth) is called Samaa.
This is why it is defined as what opposes the ground (earth)!
What most do not know is Sama is plural.

Now let’s bring everything together;
مَن فِي السماء
Literally: Who is in the Sky.
Actually: Who’s in His Highness. Meaning God.
Because as I mentioned: Sama does not mean sky only.
But if you take it as Sky, you are left with “Fi” as an issue!

To change “fi” you need external evidence! But there isn’t any!
Actually, to say it is “ala” you run into another problem which is which ala!
Let’s see what ala stand for!

على
A letter; used for:
-aboveness literally & figuratively. على الفلك أو على النار هدى
-with
-next to
-reason
-in
-agreement
-replacing ب
-addons
-extra

Now you run into more problems!
Did they just say ala to mean physical location?

On the contrary;
They said على not by space, distance, direction or proximity!
This Ala automatically negates the literal and physical approach altogether!
Which must mean those who used على meant it figuratively as in أحد على النار هدى
Or even metaphorically as ولهم علي ذنب
