The narration is with kasrah of the ha, meaning: whoever is afflicted by Your punishment, You cause them to join the disbelievers. And it is said: it means following, a variant of lahqa. It is said: lahqutuhu and alhaqtuhu with the same meaning, like tabi'tuhu and atba'tuhu. And it is narrated with fatha of the ha as passive participle, meaning: indeed Your punishment is attached to the disbelievers and they will be afflicted by it.

That the Prophet, peace be upon him, decreed that every claimed person who is claimed after his father, to whom he is claimed, has joined the one who claimed him. Ibn Al-Athir said: Al-Khattabi said: These are rulings that occurred at the beginning of the Sharia period, because the people of ignorance had slave women who were prostitutes, and their masters would have intercourse with them. If one of them gave birth to a child, the master and the fornicator might claim him, so the Prophet, peace be upon him, attached him to the master because a slave woman is like a free woman in terms of marriage. If the master died and did not claim him, then his heirs claimed him after him, he joined his father, and there is disagreement about his inheritance.

And it is said: Al-Laḥq in date palms is when they ripen and become dates, then something green emerges from within them, which rarely ripens until winter arrives and the rain causes it to fall. And something similar may occur in grapevines, called laḥq.
