5238 Talh: some understand by this the plantain or banana tree, of which the fruit is borne in bunches, one tier above
another; but the banana tree does not grow in Arabia and its ordinary Arabic name is Mauz; perhaps it is better to
understand a special kind of Acacia tree, which flowers profusely, the flowers appearing in tiers one above another.

TALK:
23:3 - Who avoid vain talk;
28:55 - And when they hear vain talk they turn away therefrom and say: "To us our deeds and to
you yours; peace be to you: we seek not the ignorant." 3387
3387 The righteous do not encourage idle talk or foolish arguments about things sacred. If they find themselves in some
company in which such things are fashionable, they leave politely. Their only rejoinder is: "We are responsible for our
deeds, and you for yours; we have no ill-will against you; we wish you well, and that is why we wish you to know of the
knowledge we have received; after that knowledge you cannot expect us to go back to the Ignorance which we have
left." (28.55)
19:26 - "So eat and drink and cool (thine) eye. And if thou dost see any man say `I have vowed a
fast to (Allah) Most Gracious and this day will I enter into no talk with any human being.' "
24782479
2478 Cool thine eye: An idiom for "comfort thyself and be glad". The literal meaning should not, however, be lost sight of.
She was to cool her eyes (perhaps full of tears) with the fresh water of the rivulet and take comfort that a remarkable
babe had been born to her. She was also to look around, and if any one came near, she was to decline all
conversation. It was quite true: she was under a vow, and could not talk to any one. (19.26)
2479 She was to decline all conversation with man or woman, on the plea of a vow to Allah. The "fast" here does not mean
abstinence literally from eating and drinking. She has just been advised to eat the dates and drink of the stream. It
means abstinence from the ordinary household meals, and indeed from human intercourse generally. (19.26)
12:31 - When (Zulaikha) heard of their malicious talk she sent for them and prepared a banquet for
them: she gave each of them a knife; and she said (to Joseph) "Come out before them. When
they saw him they did extol him and (in their amazement) cut their hands: they said "Allah
preserve us! no mortal is this! This is none other than a noble angel!" 1679
1679 When her reputation began to be pulled to pieces, the wife of 'Aziz invited all ladies in society to a grand banquet. We
can imagine them reclining at ease after the manner of fashionable banquets. When dessert was reached and the talk
flowed freely about the gossip and scandal which made their hostess interesting, they were just about to cut the fruit
with their knives, when, behold! Joseph was brought into their midst. Imagine the consternation which his beauty
caused, and the havoc it played with their hearts! "Ah!" thought the wife of 'Aziz, "now is your hypocrisy self-exposed!
What about your reproaches to me? You have yourselves so lost your self-control that you have cut your fingers!"
(12.31)
30:58 - Verily We have propounded for men in this Qur'an every kind of Parable: but if thou bring to
them any Sign the Unbelievers are sure to say "Ye do nothing but talk vanities." 3576
3576 Things of the highest moment have been explained in the Qur-an from various points of view. as in this Sura itself, by
means of payables and similitudes drawn from nature and from our ordinary daily life. But whatever the explanation,
however convincing it may be to men who earnestly seek after Truth, those who deliberately turn their backs to Truth
can find nothing convincing. In their eyes the explanations are mere "vain talk" or false arguments. (30.58)
33:53 - O ye who Believe! enter not the Prophet's houses until leave is given you for a meal (and
then) not (so early as) to wait for its preparation: but when ye are invited enter; and when ye
have taken your meal disperse without seeking familiar talk. Such (behavior) annoys the
Prophet: He is ashamed to dismiss you but Allah is not ashamed (to tell you) the truth. And
when ye ask (his ladies) for anything ye want ask them from before a screen: that makes for
greater purity for your hearts and for theirs. Nor is it right for you that ye should annoy Allah's
Apostle or that ye should marry his widows after him at any time. Truly such a thing is in
Allah's sight an enormity. 3755375637573758
20:62 - So they disputed one with another over their affair but they kept their talk secret. 2586
2586 They knew that they had here to deal with no ordinary man, but a man with powers above what they could conceive
of. But evil always thinks evil. Judging Moses and Aaron by their own standards, they thought that these two were also
tricksters, with some tricks superior to their own. All they had to do was to stand together, and they must win. I
construe xx. 63-64 to be private talk among themselves, followed by their open challenge to Moses in xx. 65. (20.62)
41:26 - The Unbelievers say: "Listen not to this Qur'an but talk at random in the midst of its
(reading) that ye may gain the upper hand!" 4496
