	Maqbool Ahmad 25th August, 2014 The hiya (20:18:2) Zameer which is feminine is used for ʿaṣāya which is masculine. Why feminine Zameer?
	Abdul Rahman 26th August, 2014 Bro. Maqbool, what is the proof that aṣā is masculine? In fact, the same ayat has three other references to it: ʿalayhā (20:18:5), bihā (20:18:7), and fīhā (20:18:11). Isn't that enough indication that the word is grammatically feminine?
	Maqbool Ahmad 1st February, 2015 Then should the description of (20:18:3) be feminine noun instead of masculine?
	Abdul Rahman 4th February, 2015 Yes, it should be feminine.
