إِنَّ إِخْوَانَنَا الْأَرَاقِمَ يَغْلُونَ عَلَيْنَا فِي قِيلِهِمْ إِحْفَاءُ
Meaning: Our kinsmen, al-Arāqim, go beyond proper limits in what they say against us.
al-Arāqim refers here to a tribal grouping connected with Taghlib. Yaghlūn suggests overstepping bounds, while iḥfāʾ intensifies the idea of excessive, insistent speech.
Calling the opponents our brothers recalls shared kinship, making the accusation more pointed.
