  • بأعضب الْقرن وَالْأُذن

    أعضب denotes a damaged or mutilated part; the precise degree of damage is not specified here. The English witness specifies a slit ear, but that detail is not explicit in this Arabic wording.

    What English wording best preserves the broad Arabic description without over-specifying the ear injury?
