  • عِدَةُ الْمُؤمِنِ کَاَخْذِ الْکَفِّ

    The wording is compressed, and the image کَاَخْذِ الْکَفِّ is not fully clear from this isolated text. The English witness’s “like seizing of the hand” is also awkward and does not resolve the image.

    Does the final phrase refer to a handshake or handclasp, or to another act of taking hold of the hand?
