2 Accord. to some, رَدَّ is made doubly trans. with إِلَى to the second objective complement when honour is intended to be shown, and with عَلَى when dishonour is intended; and they adduce as evidence of the correctness of their assertion the sayings in the Kur [xxviii. 12] فَرَدَدْنَاهُ إِلَى أُمِّهِ [So we returned, or restored, him to his mother] and [iii. 142] يَرُدُّوكُمْ عَلَى أَعْقَابِكُمْ [They will turn you back, or cause you to return, to your former condition]: but instances may be found at variance with this assertion.
