شاهت الوجوه
May the faces be disgraced; a strong expression of denunciation.
This recognizable formula is transmitted in Hadith as words of the Prophet, and the textbook treats its reuse as a literary incorporation. The past-tense form with “faces” carries an emphatic sense of rebuke.
The example establishes that iqtibās is not restricted to Quranic wording. Hadith expressions may also be incorporated when used within a new composition rather than introduced solely as a narrated report.
