(你的养主消灭大象主人的目的之一是:) 要使古莱西人的心喜爱--------
古莱西人 (قُرَيْش, Quraish) 这个词源于词根 قَرَشَ (Qarasha) 意思是: 他到处收集它, 并使其中每一部分彼此依附 (اَقْرَبْ, Aqrab)。古莱西宗族之有这个名称是因为他们的一个祖先古塞•伊本•凯拉布•彬•纳德尔 (قُصَی اِبْن كِلَاب بِنْ نَضْر, Qusayy ibn Kilab bin Nadr) 说服了他们撤离过游牧生活的阿拉伯各地, 到麦加定居。巴努•卡纳纳 (بَنُوْكَنَانَة, Banu Kananah) 的后裔中, 只有巴努•纳德尔 (بَنُوْ نَضْر, Banu Nadr) 在麦加定居。因为他们是一小群人, 所以称为古莱西人, 意思是散居各地的一小群人。
اِيْلَاف (Ilaf) 是 آلَفَ (Alafa) 的名词性不定式, 意思是: 固守或使人固守某一事物; 爱并使人爱某人或某一事物; 提供给人一件东西; 一项涉及安全责任的盟约或义务; 保护 (Lane)。
