وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱعْتَدَوْا۟ مِنكُمْ فِى ٱلسَّبْتِ فَقُلْنَا لَهُمْ كُونُوا۟ قِرَدَةً خَٰسِـِٔينَ

Where other meanings fail

ape

2:65

وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱعْتَدَوْا۟ مِنكُمْ فِى ٱلسَّبْتِ فَقُلْنَا لَهُمْ كُونُوا۟ قِرَدَةً خَٰسِـِٔينَ

Alternative: be apes, ape-like

Research rendering: be apes, repelled

قردة already supplies the animal identity; the participle contributes a distinct rejected result state that also applies to sight.

honored

7:166

فَلَمَّا عَتَوْا۟ عَن مَّا نُهُوا۟ عَنْهُ قُلْنَا لَهُمْ كُونُوا۟ قِرَدَةً خَٰسِـِٔينَ

Alternative: be apes, honored

Research rendering: be apes, repelled

The punishment command after deliberate transgression does not support elevation or accepted standing.

welcomed

23:108

قَالَ ٱخْسَـُٔوا۟ فِيهَا وَلَا تُكَلِّمُونِ

Alternative: remain welcomed in it and continue speaking to Me

Research rendering: remain driven away in it and do not speak to Me

The following prohibition explicitly denies access to further speech, reversing a welcomed state.

successful

67:4

ثُمَّ ٱرْجِعِ ٱلْبَصَرَ كَرَّتَيْنِ يَنقَلِبْ إِلَيْكَ ٱلْبَصَرُ خَاسِئًا وَهُوَ حَسِيرٌ

Alternative: sight returns to you successful and exhausted

Research rendering: sight returns to you repelled and exhausted

Repeated inspection yields no sought defect, and exhaustion is separately added to the repelled return.
