41يُعرَفُ المُجرِمونَ بِسيماهُم فَيُؤخَذُ بِالنَّواصي وَالأَقدامِMuhammad AsadAll who were lost in sin shall by their marks be known, and shall by their forelocks and their feet be seized!1This is an allusion to their utter humiliation and disgrace. When the ancient Arabs wanted to stress someone's subjection to another person, they would say, "His forelock is in the hand of so-and-so." (See also 96:15-16 and the corresponding note 8.)
