تفكّهV
He ate fruit (فَاكِهَة): and He took fruit with his hand, [he helped himself to it;] syn. تَنَاوَلَ الفَاكِهَةَ: and hence, as is said in the A, the saying in the Kur [lvi. 65], فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ is ironical, meaning [And then ye would be in the condition of] making your fruit to be your saying
إِنَّا لَمُغْرَمُونَ
Verily we are burdened with debt ]: or تَفَكَّهَ here [or rather in a case of this kind] means He threw away from himself the fruit: thus says Ibn-'Ateeyeh, in his exposition: [but see other explanations in what follows:] and it signifies also He abstained from fruit: thus it bears two contr. meanings.
