Opposite Sides
إِنَّمَا جَزَاءُ الَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَيَسْعَوْنَ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَسَادًا أَنْ يُقَتَّلُوا أَوْ يُصَلَّبُوا أَوْ تُقَطَّعَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَرْجُلُهُمْ مِنْ خِلَافٍ أَوْ يُنْفَوْا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ لَهُمْ خِزْيٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَلَهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ {33}
But rather, the Recompense of those who warring against Allah and His Rasool and are striving in the earth for mischief is that they should either be killed, or be crucified, or their hands and their legs be cut off from ‘خِلَافٍ ’ opposite sides, or be banished from the land. That is for them a recompense in the world, and for them in the Hereafter would be a grievous Punishment [5:33]
لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ مِنْ خِلَافٍ ثُمَّ لَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ {124}
(Pharoh said) I will cut off your hands and your feet on ‘خِلَافٍ’ opposite sides, then will I crucify you all together’ [7:124]
