(Msb, K. *) وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِىٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ, in the Qur'an, 17, last verse, means Nor hath taken to himself any aider to assist Him and league with Him by reason of any lowness of condition in Him, as is the custom of the Arabs to do: (K, TA: [in the CK, يُخالِفُهُ is erroneously put for يُحَالِفُهُ:]) for they used to league, one with another, seeking thereby to become strong and inaccessible. (TA.) See also ذَلِيلٌ.
