Al-Hijr
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE
[15:88]
[so] turn not thine eyes [longingly] towards the worldly benefits which We have granted unto some of those [that deny the truth]. And neither grieve over those [who refuse to heed thee], but spread the wings of thy tenderness over the believers,


* v.88 : The philological authorities are unanimous in that the plural noun azwāj denotes here “kinds” of people, or “some” of them, and not – as certain modern translators of the Qur’ān have assumed – “pairs.”
* Lit., “lower thy wing for the believers”: an idiomatic metaphor for loving tenderness and humility (see 17:24 and the corresponding note 28).
