And ثُلِثَتِ التَّرِكَةُ The property left at death had a third of it taken. (A.) And ثَلَثَ, aor. ثَلِثَ , [but in this case it seems that it should be ثَلُثَ , as above,] is also said to signify He slew a third. (L.) ― 2-b2- ثَلَثَ القَوْمَ, (T, S, K,) or الاِثْنَيْنِ, (Fr, T, M,) or الرَّجُلَيْنِ, (Msb,) aor. ثَلِثَ , (S, M, Msb, K,) [thus distinguished from the verb in the first sense explained above,] inf. n. ثَلْثٌ, (TA,) signifies He was, or became, the third of the people, (T, S, K,) or a third to the two, (Fr, T, M,) or to the two men: (Msb:) or he made them, with himself, three: (T, S, K:) and similar to this are the other verbs of number, to ten [inclusive], except that you say, أَرْبَعُهُمْ and أَسْبَعُهُمْ and أَتْسَعُهُمْ, with fet-h, because of the ع.

۞ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ تَقُومُ أَدْنَىٰ مِن ثُلُثَىِ ٱلَّيْلِ وَنِصْفَهُۥ وَثُلُثَهُۥ وَطَآئِفَةٌ مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَكَ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ يُقَدِّرُ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ ۚ عَلِمَ أَن لَّن تُحْصُوهُ فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَٱقْرَءُوا۟ مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنَ ٱلْقُرْءَانِ ۚ عَلِمَ أَن سَيَكُونُ مِنكُم مَّرْضَىٰ ۙ وَءَاخَرُونَ يَضْرِبُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَبْتَغُونَ مِن فَضْلِ ٱللَّهِ ۙ وَءَاخَرُونَ يُقَٰتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ فَٱقْرَءُوا۟ مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنْهُ ۚ وَأَقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُوا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَأَقْرِضُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا ۚ وَمَا تُقَدِّمُوا۟ لِأَنفُسِكُم مِّنْ خَيْرٍ تَجِدُوهُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ هُوَ خَيْرًا وَأَعْظَمَ أَجْرًا ۚ وَٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌۢ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

Surely, thy Lord knows that thou standest up praying for nearly twothirds of the night, and sometimes half or a third thereof, and also a party of those who are with thee. And Allah determines the measure of the night and the day. He knows that you cannot keep its measure, so He has turned to you in mercy. Recite, then, as much of the Qur’an as is easy for you. He knows that there will be some among you who may be sick and others who may travel in the land seeking Allah’s bounty, and others who may fight in the cause of Allah. So recite of it that which is easy for you, and observe Prayer, and pay the Zakat, and lend to Allah a goodly loan. And whatever good you send on before you for your souls, you will find it with Allah. It will be better and greater in reward. And seek forgiveness of Allah. Surely, Allah is Most For-giving, Merciful.
