[Hence,] وَقَدِّرْ فِى ا@لسَّرْدِ, in the Kur xxxiv. 10, means And do thou make a due adaptation of the rings in the fabrication of the coats of mail: (Bd, Jel:) or and do thou properly adapt the nails, or pins, and the holes of the rings, [ in the fabrication, ] not making the former thick and the latter small, nor the reverse: (M, Bd, * L:) or السَّرْد means السَّمْر [i. e. the nailing, or the making firm, or fast, with nails ], (Zj, M, L,) in this instance.

(A.)
