Definition of Qḍ
Al-Qaḍḍ refers to the collapse of a wall.
The Almighty says: 'A wall that was about to collapse' (Al-Kahf 77).
Inqāḍḍa al-jidār means the wall cracked and was about to fall.
So they set out, until when they came to the people of a town, they asked its people for food, but they refused to offer them hospitality. And they found therein a wall about to collapse, so al-Khidh r restored it. [Moses] said, "If you wished, you could have taken for it a payment."
God and His angels shower their blessings on the Prophet. O believers, you should also send your blessings on him, and salute him with a worthy greeting.
