usage in the language in which the Quran was revealed that contradicts it. And Allah knows best.
His words,
“One of these two daughters of mine,”
are comparable to the Prophet’s saying (may Allah bless him and grant him peace):
“Whoever eats from these two foul-smelling plants must not come near our mosque, for the angels are offended by what offends human beings.”
A similar example involving a relative pronoun is Ibn ‘Abbās’s statement to ‘Umar: “Tell me about the two women concerning whom Allah said: ‘But if you both support one another against him, then Allah is indeed his Protector’”—to the end of the verse.
The end. All praise is due to Allah alone.
مَا يُعَارِضُهَا مِنْ اللُّغَةِ الَّتِي نَزَلَ بِهَا الْقُرْآنُ. وَاَللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ.
وَقَوْلُهُ:
{إحْدَى ابْنَتَيَّ هَاتَيْنِ}
هُوَ كَقَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
{مَنْ أَكَلَ مِنْ هَاتَيْنِ الشَّجَرَتَيْنِ الْخَبِيثَتَيْنِ فَلَا يَقْرَبَنَّ مَسْجِدَنَا فَإِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تَتَأَذَّى مِمَّا يَتَأَذَّى مِنْهُ الْآدَمِيُّونَ}
وَمِثْلُهُ فِي الْمَوْصُولِ قَوْلُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ لِعُمَرِ: أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ الْمَرْأَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ قَالَ اللَّهُ فِيهِمَا:
{وَإِنْ تَظَاهَرَا عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ مَوْلَاهُ}
الْآيَةُ. آخِرُهُ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَحْدَهُ
