2 Hence,] هُنَّ مِنْ تِلَادِى, said by a man, in reference to certain chapters (سُوَر) of the Kur-án, meaning They are of those which I acquired long ago from the Kur-án: thus saying, he likened them to the property, or camels &c., called تِلَادٌ.
3 [Az says,] I heard a man of Mekkeh say, تِلَادِىبِمَكَّةَ, i. e. مِيلَادِى [app. meaning My birth was in Mekkeh].
