Kendisine verilen müjdenin kötülüğü, dolayısıyla kavminden gizlenir. Şimdi acaba o çocuğu zillet ve horluğa katlanarak saklayacak mı? Yoksa toprağa mı gömecek? Dikkat edin verdikleri hüküm ne kötüdür!

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

يستخفي مِن قومه كراهة أن يلقاهم متلبسًا بما ساءه من الحزن والعار؛ بسبب البنت التي وُلِدت له، ومتحيرًا في أمر هذه المولودة: أيبقيها حية على ذلٍّ وهوان، أم يدفنها حية في التراب؟ ألا بئس الحكم الذي حكموه مِن جَعْل البنات لله والذكور لهم.
