Surah 55. Ar-Rahman, Ayah 56

See {56:35-36} and the corresponding note [14]. As regards the expression qasirat at-tarf (lit., "such as restrain their gaze"), see note [46] on 38:52 , the earliest Qur'anic instance of this expression.

Cf. xxxvii. 48 and n. 4064. Their purity is the feature hereby chiefly emphasised.
