No analysis is held for this word. The morphology corpus and this page disagree about how this verse divides into words, so nothing is claimed rather than guessed.
The analysis could not be loaded just now. Closing this and opening it again will try afresh.
Each lecture opens on the site that hosts it. The
recordings are the speakers' own and are not held here; what this project
keeps is the index of what exists and where.
Portraits are from al-islam.org and shialectures.org.
Narrations are published by
thaqalayn.net,
whose translations these are, and every one of them links back to its
page there. Whether a narration is authentic is a question for the
collections and their gradings, and this index does not answer it.
