And in like manner, in the same [lii. 13], يَوْمَ يُدَعُّونَ إِلَى نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ دَعًّا On the day when they shall be pushed, or thrust, or driven, with harshness, roughness, or violence, to the fire of Hell. And in a trad. of Esh-Shaabee, كَانُوا لَا يُدَعُّونَ عَنْهُ They used not to be driven, nor pushed, or repelled, from it.
