Its root in the classical dictionaries
ماء عذب طيب بارد. قال تعالى: هذا عذب فرات [الفرقان/ 53] ، وأعذب القوم:
﴿ولهم عذاب أليم﴾ [البقرة: 174]: الإيجاع الشديد، وأصله من المنع، وسميت العقوبة والإيلام عذابا باعتبار منعها من معاودة ما عوقب عليه، ومنه الماء العذب لأنه يعذب العطش، أي يمنعه. وقيل: هو من قولهم: عذب الرجل إذا ترك المأكل فهو عاذب وعذوب. فكان التعذيب في الأصل حمل الإنسان على أن يعذب أي يجوع ويسهر. وقيل: بل هو من العذب…
No blame is there
On the blind, nor is
There blame on the lame,
Nor on one ill (if he
Joins not the war):
But he that obeys God
And His Apostle,—(God)
Will admit him to Gardens
Beneath which rivers flow;
And he who turns back,
(God) will punish him
With a grievous Penalty.
They are the ones who
Denied revelation and hindered you
From the Sacred Mosque
And the sacrificial animals,
Detained from reaching their
Place of sacrifice. Had there
Not been believing men
And believing women whom
Ye did not know that
Ye were trampling down
And on whose account
A crime would have accrued
To you without (your) knowledge,
(God would have allowed you
To force your way, but
He held back your hands)
That He may admit
To His Mercy whom He will.
If they had been
Apart, We should
Certainly have punished
The Unbelievers among them
With a grievous punishment.
One Day will the Hypocrites
Men and women—say
To the Believers: "Wait
For us! Let us borrow
(A light) from your Light!"
It will be said: "Turn
Ye back to your rear!
Then seek a light (where
Ye can)!" So a wall
Will be put up betwixt them,
With a gate therein.
Within it will be Mercy
Throughout, and without it,
All alongside, will be
(Wrath and) Punishment!
Know ye (all), that
The life of this world
Is but play and amusement,
Pomp and mutual boasting
And multiplying, (in rivalry)
Among yourselves, riches
And children.
Here is a similitude:
How rain and the growth
Which it brings forth, delight
(The hearts of) the tillers;
Soon it withers; thou
Wilt see it grow yellow;
Then it becomes dry
And crumbles away.
But in the Hereafter
Is a Penalty severe
(For the devotees of wrong).
And Forgiveness from God
And (His) Good Pleasure
(For the devotees of God).
And what is the life
Of this world, but
Goods and chattels
Of deception?
And if any has not
(The wherewithal),
He should fast for
Two months consecutively
Before they touch each other.
But if any is unable
To do so, he should feed
Sixty indigent ones.
This, that ye may show
Your faith in God
And His Apostle.
Those are limits (set
By) God. For those who
Reject (Him), there is
A grievous Penalty.
Those who resist God
And His Apostle will be
Humbled to dust, as were
Those before them: for We
Have already sent down
Clear Signs. And the Unbelievers
(Will have) a humiliating Penalty,—
