﴿ هَلَكَ عَنِّى سُلْطَٰنِيَهْ ﴾

“[and] all my power of argument has died away from me!"”

My authority my strength my argument has gone from me’ the final hā’ in kitābiyah ‘my book’ hisābiyah ‘my account’ and sultāniyah ‘my authority’ is for consonantal quiescence; and it is retained when reciting with a pause as well as without a pause in accordance with the authoritative version of the Qur’ānic text and the transmitted reports; some elide it when reciting without a pause.
