English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
‘Most surely will I cut off your hands and your feet on alternate sides. Then will I surely crucify you all together.
English - Five Volume Translation
[a]‘Most surely, will I cut off your hands and your feet on alternate sides. Then will I surely crucify you all together.[1014]
20:72; 26:50.
Commentary:
Although crucifixion meant painful death, the punishment of cutting off the hands and feet was added to make the infliction all the more exemplary and death all the more painful. Incidentally, the verse shows that even as early as the time of Moses the punishment of death by crucifixion was in vogue.
