29 Preface وَالتَفَّتِ السّاقُ بِالسّاقِYusuf AliAnd one leg will be1 joined with another:When the soul has departed, the legs of the dead body are placed together in position, in preparation for the rites preliminary to the burial. Saq (literally, leg) may also be taken metaphorically to mean a calamity: calamity will be joined to calamity for the poor departed sinner’s soul, as his life story in this world is now done. Willy-nilly, he will now have to go before the Throne of Judgment.
