  • عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ ‏ "‏ بَيْنَ يَدَىِ السَّاعَةِ مَسْخٌ وَخَسْفٌ وَقَذْفٌ ‏"‏ ‏.

    The final term qadhf may denote pelting/stoning or casting/projecting; the report provides no clarification.

    Should qadhf be rendered as pelting, stoning, or left as a transliterated term in this context?
