When We sent to them two men and they denied them both from idh arsalnā ilayhim ithnayni fa-kadhdhabūhumā to the end is a substitution for the previous idh ‘when’ so We reinforced them read fa-‘azaznā or fa-‘azzaznā in other words We reinforced the two men with a third and they said ‘We have indeed been sent to you by God’.
- 36:1414
إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَيْهِمُ اثْنَيْنِ فَكَذَّبُوهُمَا فَعَزَّزْنَا بِثَالِثٍ فَقَالُوا إِنَّا إِلَيْكُمْ مُرْسَلُونَ
When We sent two of them they called them liars; so We sent a third to strengthen them. "We have been sent to you," they said.
