Nothing induces thee to flee from El-Islám except the sayingThere is no deity but God: ” many of the relaters say يَفُرُّكَ; but Az says that the former is the right.
2 Hence the saying, افرّٱللّٰهُ يَدَهُ God made, or may God make, his arm, or hand, to fall off; like أَطَرَّهَا and أَتَرَّهَا.
3 And أَفْرَرْتُ رَأْسَهُ I split, or clave, his head, with a sword; like أَفْرَيْتُهُ.
