(so in some copies of the K,) or قَدْ بَلَغْنَا قِرَاهُمُ, (so in other copies of the K and in the TA,) or قد فَعَلْنَا قراهم, (so in the O,) i. e., [according to the different readings, How many a generous company of men has there been, or how many guests of the night have there been, to whom we have brought their entertainment, and] we have found the fates to be destructive, (T, K, *) and they have found them to be so: (T:) it is like the phrase أَتَيْنَا فُلَانًا فَأَبْخَلْنَاهُ and أَجْبَنَّاهُ: (TA:) or we found the fates to destroy us, and they found them to destroy them: or we made the fates to be destruction to them, and they made them to be destruction to us: (ISk, K:) he means, we engaged with them in vehement fight, and slew them. (TA.)وَأَضْيَافِ لَيْلٍ قَدْ نَقَلْنَا قِرَاهُمُإِلَيْهِمْ وَأَتْلَفْنَا المَنَايَا وَأَتْلَفُوا
