Meaning: And the overturned cities · Also translated as: and the towns overturned
الإفك: كل مصروف عن وجهه الذي يحق أن يكون عليه، ومنه قيل للرياح العادلة عن المهاب: مؤتفكة. قال تعالى: والمؤتفكات بالخاطئة [الحاقة/ 9] ، وقال تعالى:
الهمزة والفاء والكاف أصل واحد، يدل على قلب الشيء وصرفه عن جهته. يقال: أفك الشيء. وأفك الرجل: إذا كذب. والإفك الكذب. وأفكت الرجل عن الشيء: إذا صرفته عنه. قال الله تعالى: ﴿قالوا أجئتنا لتأفكنا عن آلهتنا﴾ [الأحقاف: 22]. وقال شاعر:
