Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (So his companion called out to him, and he took action and slaughtered it)

Allah the Exalted said:
But they called their companion, and he dared and hamstrung [her].فَنَادَوْا صَاحِبَهُمْ فَتَعَاطَى فَعَقَرَ
[Surah al-Qamar: 29] They called out to their companion, whom they saw as strong and brave, and they said to him: This she-camel has made things difficult for us; if we were to slaughter it, we would be able to drink every day. So they asked him to slaughter it—may Allah grant us well-being— Did this brave companion, whom they saw as more daring than them, regardless of his name—meaning: some exegetes named him, but that is not important—did he hesitate? He did not hesitate or delay; rather, he acted promptly.

Allah the Exalted said:
So he took action and slaughtered itفَتَعَاطَى فَعَقَرَ
Ta'ata: it is a form indicating interaction,from giving, meaning: he offered himself and did so quickly,the fā' indicates speed in his saying:
So he took actionفَتَعَاطَى
as soon as they called out to him, he immediately agreed:
and slaughtered itفَعَقَرَ
he slaughtered the she-camel—may Allah grant us well-being—first cutting off its limbs, then slaughtering it secondly. It was one of the signs of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and one of their interests,but may Allah grant us well-being, their souls did not accept:
So he took action and slaughtered itفَتَعَاطَى فَعَقَرَ
