Surah Al-A'raf 7:124



ﱠ ﱡ ﱢ ﱣ ﱤ ﱥ ﱦ ﱧ

I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides; then I will surely crucify you all."

ﻻأقطعن أيديكم وأرجلكم من خﻼأف

"Surely, I will cut off your hands and your feet from opposite sides.'' by cutting the right hand and the left leg or the opposite,

ثم ﻻصلبنكم أجمعين

"then I will crucify you all.'' just as he said in another Ayah,

فى جذوع النخل

"Fi the trunks of date palms.'' (20:71) Fi in this Ayah means "on''. Ibn Abbas said that Fir`awn was the first to crucify and cut off hands and legs on opposite sides. The magicians said,

قالوا إنا إلى ربنا منقلبون
