[He said], "Return them to me," and set about striking1326 [their] legs and necks.
[1326] With his sword as expiation. Some commentaries have also suggested the meaning of "stroking" with the hand.
Verse 33 of Surah Sad (38:33), a Meccan surah, is in juz 23, on page 455 of the mushaf. Read it in Arabic with its transliteration, translations and tafsir, and listen to it recited by 73 reciters.
79 recitations by 73 reciters: pick one and it plays in the player.
Return these horses to me”. So they returned them to him, then he began striking their legs and necks with his sword.
[He ordered], “Bring them back to me,” and he began striking [their] shanks and necks14.
[14] With his sword as expiation, for it might have been permissible in their law, especially if it had been for the sake of Allah such as missing prayer or the like; this is a more correct view. However, Ibn Jarīr favored the view that Solomon began to rub down their legs and necks with the hand, not by the sword.
Then he said "Bring them (horses) back to me." Then he began to pass his hand over their legs and their necks (till the end of the display).
(Then he said): Bring them back to me, and fell to slashing (with his sword their) legs and necks.
"Bring them back to me." then began he to pass his hand over (their) legs and their necks.
Bring them back to me; so he began to slash (their) legs and necks.
"Turn them back to me!" Then he took to striking (Or: slashing) their shanks and necks.
