Kur [lxxxix. 19],
accord. to the reading of the people of El-Medeeneh, وَلَا يَحُضُّونَ عَلَى طَعَامِ المِسْكينِ; and

TA:) or nor do they, or ye, command to feed the poor, &c.: (

TA.) The grammarians apply to the particles هَلَّا and أَلَّا and لَوْلَا and لَوْمَا the term حُرُوفُ
↓ التَّحْضِيضِ [Particles of exciting]; and say that when they are followed by a future, they denote exciting to an action, and seeking or desiring or demanding the performance of it; and when followed by a preterite, reproof for not doing a thing. (
