﴿ لَأُعَذِّبَنَّهُۥ عَذَابًۭا شَدِيدًا أَوْ لَأَا۟ذْبَحَنَّهُۥٓ أَوْ لَيَأْتِيَنِّى بِسُلْطَٰنٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ﴾

“[If so,] I will punish him most severely or will kill him unless he bring me a convincing excuse!””

He said ‘Assuredly I will chastise him with a severe chastisement by having all his feathers as well as his tail plucked and leaving him out in the sun where he would not be able to escape from reptiles or I will slaughter him by slitting his throat unless he brings me read la-ya’tiyannī or la-ya’tinannī a clear warrant’ plain manifest proof for his having a valid excuse.
