المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

قوله تعالى: ﴿ثم ارجع البصر كرتين﴾ وليس المراد بالتثنية هنا شفع الواحد إنما المعنى على كرات بدليل قوله: ﴿ينقلب إليك البصر خاسئا وهو حسير﴾، أي مزدجرا وهو قليل. ومعلوم أن ذلك لا يكون بين نظرتين فقط، وإنما المعنى كرة بعد كرة، فهذا مما لفظه تثنية ومعناه جمع، وله أخوات: لبيك وسعديك وهذاذيك ودواليك وحنانيك.
