2 You say also, جَاؤُوا تُرْتَبًا and تُرْتُبًا, meaning They came all together. And a poet says, namely, Ziyád Ibn-Zeyd El-'Odharee,
meaning [And we possessed excellence above the people] all together: thus accord. to the reading commonly known: but, as some relate it,وَكَانَ لَنَا فَضْلٌ عَلَى النَّاسِ تُرْتَبَا
i. e. [And it was a just claim that we had upon the people,] settled, or established. The first ت in تُرْتَبٌ is augmentative, because there is no word like جُعْفَرٌ; and the derivation also is an evidence of this, for the word is from الشَّىْءُ الرَّاتِبُ.وَكَانَ لَنَا حَقًّا عَلَى النَّاسِ تُرْتَبَا
