Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “So He struck them with the right hand.”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
(92) What is [wrong] with you that you do not speak?" (93) And he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand. ما لكم لا تنطقون فراغ عليهم ضربا باليمين
[As-Saffat 37:92-93]
In the first of the verses, he says
So He went to your gods. فراغ إلى آلهتم
meaning he went in stealthily to the extreme limit, but here he said
And he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand. فراغ عليهم ضربا باليمين
[As-Saffat 37:93]
and he said "upon them" rather than "to them" because that striking fell upon these idols to break them, (peace and blessings be upon him)
So He struck them. فراغ عليهم
meaning upon these deities, and as I mentioned first, he addressed them as a person of reason, so he used the plural "man"
And he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand. فراغ عليهم ضربا باليمين
[As-Saffat 37:93]
with force, and he broke them. His saying
A strike. ضربا
this is a verbal noun in the position of a circumstantial phrase, meaning he rushed upon them striking with the right hand, and it is possible that it is a verbal noun for an omitted verb, and the estimation is he rushed upon them striking a strike
