الاقتران كالازدواج في كونه اجتماع شيئين، أو أشياء في معنى من المعاني. قال تعالى: أو جاء معه الملائكة مقترنين
قوله تعالي: ﴿وكم أهلكنا قبلهم من قرن﴾ [مريم: 98] القرن: الجماعة المقترنون في وقت واحد. وقيل: كل طبقة في وقت اقترنت في زمان. وقيل: كل طبقة بعث فيها نبي، وقيل: القرن: المدة، واختلف في قدرها، فقيل: ثمانون سنة، وقيل: أربعون، وقيل مئة، واستدل للأربعين بقول النابغة الجعدي: [من المتقارب].
