[3758] Rabaṭnā ʿalā qulūbihim (lit. We tied over their hearts) is an Arabic expression denoting resoluteness and firmness (cf. Ibn Qutaybah, Gharīb al-Qur’ān, Ibn Fāris, Maqāyīs al-Lughah, al-Iṣfahānī, al-Mufradāt).
[3759] They most needed these firm hearts as they rose up in the face of their people and the ruler who wielded all means of power in that society and resolutely challenged the status quo (cf. Ibn ʿAṭiyyah).
[3760] Shaṭatan is an utterance that is preposterous and too far away from the Truth (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Qutaybah, Gharīb al-Qur’ān, Ibn Fāris, Maqāyīs al-Lughah, al-Iṣfahānī, al-Mufradāt).
