A verse and its Tafsir.

00:00:03.589 --> 00:00:07.419
Allah the Exalted says:

00:00:07.419 --> 00:00:15.929
“Fie on you and all that ye worship instead of Allah! Have ye then no sense?” (21:67)

00:00:15.929 --> 00:00:16.929
"Uff" (fie).

00:00:16.929 --> 00:00:21.989
A word uttered to express aversion, annoyance, and disdain.

00:00:21.989 --> 00:00:24.989
Al-Raghib al-Isfahani, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

00:00:24.989 --> 00:00:26.989
The root of the word "uff" refers to:

00:00:26.989 --> 00:00:31.989
Anything considered repulsive, such as filth, nail clippings, and the like.

00:00:31.989 --> 00:00:37.990
It is also said regarding anything one deems insignificant out of disdain for it.

00:00:37.990 --> 00:00:40.060

00:00:40.060 --> 00:00:44.340
