our gods? (Bd:) or he turned him away, or
back, by lying: (TA:) or he changed, or perverted, his judgment, or opinion: (K:) or he

Mujáhid, يُؤْفَنُ عَنْهُ مَنْ أُفِنَ [he will be weak in
intellect and judgment so as to be thereby turned
away from it who is weak in intellect and judgment]. (S, TA.) You say also, أُفِكَ الرَّجُلُ عَنِ
