المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

الإثخان: تكثير الشيء وتطبيقه بعضه على بعض. ومنه ثوب ثخين أي متركب الغزل، قوي النسيج. وقوله تعالى: ﴿ما كان لنبي أن يكون له أسرى حتى يثخن في الأرض﴾ [الأنفال: 67] أي يكثر قتل العدو والمحارب، فتقوى شوكة دينه. وثخن جيشه على الاستعارة من ثخانة الثوب والعسل ونحوهما. كما يقال: ثخن الشراب يثخن ثخانة فهو ثخين إذا لم يسل وعسر…

Verses with أثخن

Verses 1–2 of 2

  1. Each word opens its meaning.

    It is not fitting For an Apostle That he should have Prisoners of war until He hath thoroughly subdued The land. Ye look For the temporal goods Of this world; but God Looketh to the Hereafter: And God is Exalted in might, Wise.

    Surah Al-Anfal, verse 8:67
  2. Each word opens its meaning.

    Therefore, when ye meet The Unbelievers (in fight), Smite at their necks; At length, when ye have Thoroughly subdued them, Bind a bond Firmly (on them): thereafter (Is the time for) either Generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down Its burdens. Thus (are ye Commanded): but if it Had been God's Will, He could certainly have exacted Retribution from them (Himself); But (He lets you fight) In order to test you, Some with others. But those who are slain In the way of God, He will never let Their deeds be lost.

    Surah Muhammad, verse 47:4
