14:21
وَبَرَزُوا۟ لِلَّهِ جَمِيعًا فَقَالَ ٱلضُّعَفَـٰٓؤُا۟ لِلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُوٓا۟ إِنَّا كُنَّا لَكُمْ تَبَعًا فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّغْنُونَ عَنَّا مِنْ عَذَابِ ٱللَّهِ مِن شَىْءٍ ۚ قَالُوا۟ لَوْ هَدَىٰنَا ٱللَّهُ لَهَدَيْنَـٰكُمْ ۖ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْنَآ أَجَزِعْنَآ أَمْ صَبَرْنَا مَا لَنَا مِن مَّحِيصٍ

They will all be marshalled before Allah together: then will the weak say to those who were arrogant, "For us, we but followed you; can ye then avail us to all against the wrath of Allah?" They will reply, "If we had received the Guidance of Allah, we should have given it to you: to us it makes no difference (now) whether we rage, or bear (these torments) with patience: for ourselves there is no way of escape."

Core sense — the onyx; certain beads, or gems, of El-Yemen and Chinagenerated

1[The onyx; so called in the present day;] certain beads, or gemsجِزْعٌ

IDrd ascribes this second form to the common people.

They are خَرَزٌ, the beads, or gems, خَرَز of El-Yemen and of China, in which there is whiteness and blackness, and to which eyes are likened — and in particular, by Imra-el-Keys, the eyes of wild animals, because their eyes are black while they are alive, but when they die their whiteness appears.

Golius renders the word “Murœna seu concha Veneris,” though he also gives what I regard as the only correct meaning, namely “onyx.”

A kind of stone having many colours, brought from El-Yemen and China; so called because it is interrupted by various colours, its blackness being interrupted by its whiteness and its yellowness.

'Áïsheh's necklace [which she lost on the occasion that subjected her to the accusation of adultery] was of جَزْع of Dhafári.

Worn in a signet it brings anxiety, or disquietude of mind, and grief, and terrifying dreams, and quarrelling with people; and if the hair of a woman who has difficulty in giving birth is wound upon it, she gives birth at once. [Kzw says the like, and more of the same kind.]
