مضنة لما يتعلق به، والمعقل: جبل أو حصن يعتقل به، والعقال: داء يعرض في قوائم الخيل، والعقل:
العين واللام والقاف أصل كبير صحيح يرجع إلى معنى واحد، وهو أن يناط الشيء بالشيء العالي. ثم يتسع الكلام فيه، والمرجع كله إلى الأصل الذي ذكرناه.
Verses 1–4 of 4
O mankind! if ye have A doubt about the Resurrection, (Consider) that We created you Out of dust, then out of Sperm, then out of a leech-like Clot, then out of a morsel Of flesh, partly formed And partly unformed, in order That We may manifest (Our power) to you; And We cause whom We will To rest in the wombs For an appointed term, Then do We bring you out As babes, then (foster you) That ye may reach your age Of full strength; and some Of you are called to die, And some are sent back To the feeblest old age, So that they know nothing After having known (much), And (further), thou seest The earth barren and lifeless, But when We pour down Rain on it, it is stirred (To life), it swells, And it puts forth every kind Of beautiful growth (in pairs).
Surah Al-Hajj, verse 22:5Then We made the sperm Into a clot of congealed blood; Then of that clot We made A (fœtus) lump; then We Made out of that lump Bones and clothed the bones With flesh; then We developed Out of it another creature. So blessed be God, The Best to create!
Surah Al-Mu'minun, verse 23:14It is He Who has Created you from dust, Then from a sperm-drop, Then from a leech-like clot; Then does He get you Out (into the light) As a child: then lets you (Grow and) reach your age Of full strength; then Lets you become old,— Though of you there are Some who die before;— And lets you reach A Term appointed; In order that ye May learn wisdom.
Surah Ghafir, verse 40:67Then did he become A leech-like clot; Then did (God) make And fashion (him) In due proportion.
Surah Al-Qiyamah, verse 75:38
