	teuku edward 24th December, 2010 Are here and in 33:18 ism fi'l or ism fi'l amr? AbdulBaqii put it under root h-l-m..
	Abdul Rahman 24th December, 2010 See the discussion on this word in Bahjat, Vol 3 page 353. This word appears twice in the Quran in this form, without the suffix "waw" to indicate that the "amr" is addressed to many. So it is better to describe it as "ism fa3il" with the meaning of the "fi3l amr" rather than as fi3l amr. And the "ha" is part of the word, and not a vocative.
