فَلَمَّا سَمِعَتۡ بِمَكۡرِهِنَّ أَرۡسَلَتۡ إِلَيۡہِنَّ وَأَعۡتَدَتۡ لَهُنَّ مُتَّكَـًٔ۬ا وَءَاتَتۡ كُلَّ وَٲحِدَةٍ۬ مِّنۡہُنَّ سِكِّينً۬ا وَقَالَتِ ٱخۡرُجۡ عَلَيۡہِنَّۖ فَلَمَّا رَأَيۡنَهُ ۥۤ أَكۡبَرۡنَهُ ۥ وَقَطَّعۡنَ أَيۡدِيَہُنَّ وَقُلۡنَ حَـٰشَ لِلَّهِ مَا هَـٰذَا بَشَرًا إِنۡ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا مَلَكٌ۬ كَرِيمٌ۬ ٣١
