أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُزْجِى سَحَابًا ثُمَّ يُؤَلِّفُ بَيْنَهُۥ ثُمَّ يَجْعَلُهُۥ رُكَامًا فَتَرَى ٱلْوَدْقَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ خِلَٰلِهِۦ وَيُنَزِّلُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مِن جِبَالٍ فِيهَا مِنۢ بَرَدٍ فَيُصِيبُ بِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَصْرِفُهُۥ عَن مَّن يَشَآءُ يَكَادُ سَنَا بَرْقِهِۦ يَذْهَبُ بِٱلْأَبْصَٰرِ
ٱرْكُضْ بِرِجْلِكَ هَٰذَا مُغْتَسَلٌۢ بَارِدٌ وَشَرَابٌ
لَّا بَارِدٍ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ
لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًا وَلَا شَرَابًا
Where other meanings fail
harmful cold
21:69
قُلْنَا يَٰنَارُ كُونِى بَرْدًا وَسَلَٰمًا عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ
Alternative: fire, become injuriously freezing and safe for Abraham
Research rendering: fire, become coolness and safety for Abraham
The coordinated safety predicate contradicts an invariant of cold injury.
cooling comfort
24:43
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُزْجِى سَحَابًا ثُمَّ يُؤَلِّفُ بَيْنَهُۥ ثُمَّ يَجْعَلُهُۥ رُكَامًا فَتَرَى ٱلْوَدْقَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ خِلَٰلِهِۦ وَيُنَزِّلُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مِن جِبَالٍ فِيهَا مِنۢ بَرَدٍ فَيُصِيبُ بِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَصْرِفُهُۥ عَن مَّن يَشَآءُ يَكَادُ سَنَا بَرْقِهِۦ يَذْهَبُ بِٱلْأَبْصَٰرِ
Alternative: He sends comforting coolness from the clouds to strike whomever He wills
Research rendering: He sends hail from the clouds to strike whomever He wills
Descent and selective impact profile material precipitation whose effect is not necessarily comforting.
hail
38:42
ٱرْكُضْ بِرِجْلِكَ هَٰذَا مُغْتَسَلٌۢ بَارِدٌ وَشَرَابٌ
Alternative: this is hail for washing and a drink
Research rendering: this is cool water for washing and a drink
The demonstrative identifies a washing place and drink whose carrier bears the thermal property, not falling frozen pellets.
drink
78:24
لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًا وَلَا شَرَابًا
Alternative: they taste there neither drink nor drink
Research rendering: they taste there neither coolness nor drink
The coordination explicitly distinguishes thermal relief from beverage.
