قوله تعالى: ﴿حتى إذا أقلت سحابا ثقالا﴾ [الأعراف: 57] أي حملت. يقال: أقل الرجل الشيء يقله إقلالا: إذا حمله، ومنه القلة لأن الرجل يقلها بيديه أي يحملها، والمعنى أن الرياح رفعت السحاب بتسخير الله تعالى. وفي الحديث: "كقلال هجر" القلال جمع قلة وهي جرة تعمل بهذا المكان، وهو قريب من المدينة.

    When Talūt set forth With the armies, he said: "God will test you At the stream: if any Drinks of its water, He goes not with my army: Only those who taste not Of it go with me: A mere sip out of the hand Is excused." But they all Drank of it, except a few. When they crossed the river,— He and the faithful ones with him, They said: "This day We cannot cope With Goliath and his forces." But those who were convinced That they must meet God, Said: "How oft, by God's will, Hath a small force Vanquished a big one? God is with those Who steadfastly persevere."
