2 مَا عَاقَتْ عِنْدَ زَوْجِهَا وَلَا لَاقَتْ, or مَا عَاقَتْ وَلَا لَاقَتْ عِنْدَ زَوْجِهَا, means She did not cleave, or stick, to the heart of her husband; to which IKtt adds, and did not hinder him from separating himself from her, or marrying another: and some say that it means she was not happy with her husband; near to his heart; in favour with him, or beloved by him: and some, that عَاقَتْ is an imitative adjunct to لَاقَتْ, because the latter signifies لَصِقَتْ.
