البطش: تناول الشيء بصولة، قال تعالى:

المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

البطش: تناول الشيء بصولة وقهر. ويقال: هو سرعة الانتقام وعدم التؤدة في العفو. وقوله: ﴿إن بطش ربك لشديد﴾ [البروج: 12] تنبيه على أنه سريع العقاب، كما صرح به في غير موضع، ولم يكف أن ذكره بلفظ البطش حتى وصفه بالشدة. وقوله: ﴿ولقد أنذرهم بطشتنا﴾ [القمر: 36] أي عقوبتنا السريعة.
