القص: تتبع الأثر، يقال: قصصت أثره، والقصص: الأثر. قال تعالى: فارتدا على آثارهما قصصا
قوله تعالى: ﴿نحن نقص عليك أحسن القصص﴾ [يوسف:3] أي نبين لك أحسن البيان، من قولهم: قص فلان الخبر أي أتى بقصته من قصها، وأصله من قص الأثر أي تتبعه حتى عرف صاحبه أين سلك. والقصص: الأثر نفسه؛ قال تعالى: ﴿فارتدا على آثارهما قصصا﴾ [الكهف:64] ومنه القصيص: وهو ما يبقى من الكلأ بعد تتبعه بالرعي والجز.

This is the true account: There is no god Except God; And God—He is indeed The Exalted in Power, The Wise.
Surah Ali 'Imran, verse 3:62If it had been Our Will, We should have elevated him With Our Signs; but he Inclined to the earth, And followed his own vain desires. His similitude is that Of a dog: if you attack Him, he lolls out his tongue, Or if you leave him alone, He (still) lolls out his tongue. That is the similitude Of those who reject Our Signs; So relate the story; Perchance they may reflect.
Surah Al-A'raf, verse 7:176We do relate unto thee The most beautiful of stories, In that We reveal to thee This (portion of the) Qur-ān: Before this, thou too Was among those Who knew it not.
Surah Yusuf, verse 12:3There is, in their stories, Instruction for men endued With understanding. It is not A tale invented, but a confirmation Of what went before it,— A detailed exposition Of all things, and a Guide And a Mercy to any such As believe.
Surah Yusuf, verse 12:111Moses said: "That was what We were seeking after:" So they went back On their footsteps, following (The path they had come).
Surah Al-Kahf, verse 18:64Afterwards one of the (damsels) Came (back) to him, walking Bashfully. She said: "My father Invites thee that he may Reward thee for having watered (Our flocks) for us." So when He came to him and narrated The story, he said: "Fear thou not: (well) hast thou Escaped from unjust people."
Surah Al-Qasas, verse 28:25
