This site is intended for students of sacred knowledge that are proficient in comprehending classical Arabic and have a strong foundation in Islamic sciences.

quran:7:88 –

Said the eminent ones who were arrogant among his people, "We will surely evict you, O Shu'ayb, and those who have believed with you from our city, or you must return to our religion." He said, "Even if we were unwilling?"  

Said the council of those of his people who were disdainful, of believing: ‘Surely we will expel you, O Shu‘ayb, and those who believe with you, from our city, unless you return to our creed’, our religion (the plural person predominates over the singular in their address ˹to Shu‘ayb˺ because Shu‘ayb was never part of their religious community; and so in the same ˹plural˺ way he responded:) He said, ‘What, should we return to it, even though we are averse, to it? (the interrogative is meant as a disavowal).
القرآن:٧:٨٨ –

قَالَ الْمَلَأُ الَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُوا مِنْ قَوْمِهِ لَنُخْرِجَنَّكَ يَا شُعَيْبُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَعَكَ مِنْ قَرْيَتِنَا أَوْ لَتَعُودُنَّ فِي مِلَّتِنَا ۚ قَالَ أَوَلَوْ كُنَّا كَارِهِينَ  

{قال الملأ الذين استكبروا من قومه} عن الإيمان {لنخرجنك يا شعيب والذين آمنوا معك من قريتنا أو لتعودُن} ترجعن {في ملتنا} ديننا وغلبوا في الخطاب الجمع على الواحد لأن شعيبا لم يكن في ملتهم قط وعلى نحوه أجاب {قال أ} نعود فيها {ولو كنا كارهين} لها استفهام إنكار.
