(Ayah 36) {وَ لَا طَعَامٌ اِلَّا مِنْ غِسْلِيْنٍ:’’ غِسْلِيْنٍ ‘‘ ’’غَسَلَ يَغْسِلُ‘‘} has the same pattern as {’’فِعْلِيْنٌ‘‘} from (ض), water that comes out when washing a wound or something filthy. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "By this is meant the blood and pus that comes out from the wounds of the people of Hell." [ طبري بسند حسن ]
