كعب الرجل: العظم الذي عند ملتقى القدم والساق. قال: وأرجلكم إلى الكعبين
قوله تعالى: ﴿وأرجلكم إلى الكعبين﴾ [المائدة: 6]. الكعب: العظم المرتفع بين مفصل الساق والقدم. وكل ما بين عقدتين من القضيب والرمح ونحوهما فهو كعب، قيل: سببه تكعب الإنسان، ومنه قول الشاعر: [من الوافر]
Verses 1–1 of 1
O ye who believe! When ye prepare For prayer, wash Your faces, and your hands (And arms) to the elbows; Rub your heads (with water); And (wash) your feet To the ankles. If ye are in a state Of ceremonial impurity, Bathe your whole body. But if ye are ill, Or on a journey, Or one of you cometh From offices of nature, Or ye have been In contact with women, And ye find no water, Then take for yourselves Clean sand or earth, And rub therewith Your faces and hands. God doth not wish To place you in a difficulty, But to make you clean, And to complete His favour to you, That ye may be grateful.
Surah Al-Ma'idah, verse 5:6
