Glossary of the ḥadīth:
• “yuqassimu bayna nisāʾihi” – from qasama yaqsimu (pattern: ḍaraba yaḍribu), qasman (fatḥa followed by sukūn), the verbal noun of “qassamtu al-shayʾa fa-inqasama,” meaning to divide something so that each receives her allotted share.
• “fa-yaʿdil” – ʿadala yaʿdilu ʿadlan; the opposite of jār. Thus ʿadl (justice) stands in contrast to injustice.
• “falā talumni” – lāma yalūmu lawman wa malāmah: to blame or reproach; al-lawm denotes censure. Al-Kulliyyāt notes: blame spurs a person on, just as reproach provokes.
