عته، ومنه قوله عليه السلام: «القرآن شافع مشفع» والشفعة هو: طلب مبيع في شركته بما بيع به ليضمه إلى ملكه، وهو من الشفع، وقال عليه السلام: «إذا وقعت الحدود فلا شفعة» .
قوله تعالى: ﴿على شفا جرف هار﴾ [التوبة: 109]. الشفا من الشيء: طرفه. ومنه: شفا البئر، وشفا النهر، أي طرفهما، ومنه قوله تعالى: ﴿وكنتم على شفا حفرة﴾ [آل عمران: 103]. وتثنيته شفوان، فتكتب بالألف ولا تمال. والجمع شفاء.
Verses 1–2 of 2
And hold fast, All together, by the Rope Which God (stretches out For you), and be not divided Among yourselves; And remember with gratitude God's favour on you; For ye were enemies And He joined your hearts In love, so that by His Grace, Ye became brethren; And ye were on the brink Of the Pit of Fire, And He saved you from it. Thus doth God make His Signs clear to you: That ye may be guided.
Surah Ali 'Imran, verse 3:103Which then is best?—he that Layeth his foundation On piety to God And His Good Pleasure?—or he That layeth his foundation On an undermined sand-cliff Ready to crumble to pieces? And it doth crumble to pieces With him, into the fire Of Hell. And God guideth not People that do wrong.
Surah At-Tawbah, verse 9:109
