(Mughnee voce أَلَا.) It is said in the Ḳur [lxxxix. 19], accord. to the reading of the people of El-Medeeneh, وَلَا يَحُضُّونَ عَلَى طَعَامِ المِسْكينِ; and accord. to that of El-Ḥasan, تَحُضُّونَ; [Nor do they, or ye, excite one another to feed the poor, or destitute]: (TA:) or nor do they, or ye, command to feed the poor,, &c.: (Fr, TA:) and there are other readings thereof: see 3 and 6. (TA.) The grammarians apply to the particles هَلَّا and أَلَّا and لَوْلَا and لَوْمَا the termحُرُوفُ التَّحْضِيضِ↓ [Particles of exciting]; and say that when they are followed by a future, they denote exciting to an action, and seeking or desiring or demanding the performance of it; and when followed by a preterite, reproof for not doing a thing. (Mṣb.)
