given to Moses, when the property of Pharaoh
was transformed at his prayer, and became stones.
(M.) [See the Kur xvii. 103, and xxvii. 12.]
In like manner, it is said in the Kur [iv. 50],

فَنَرُدَّهَا عَلَى أَدْبَارِهَا, are expl.

before we make faces to
be like the backs of necks: or
before we make
faces to be places in which hair shall grow like
the backs of necks: or (tropical:)
before we make them to
err, in requital of their opposition. (Zj, TA.)
