 Abd-Allah extends Bucaille’s proposition, providing dictionaries and tafsirs to support his case that ''sulb'' means ‘hardening’ and ''tara’ib'' means the sexual areas of the woman.
-'''Here is Abd-Allah's definition of ''sulb'':'''
+Here is Abd-Allah's definition of ''sulb'':
 {{Quote|Ahmed A. Abd-Allah|Note that 'sulb' is *singular*. In the dictionary by Wehr you cite below, you will see that its meaning of backbone is *only* when we take the *plural* word of sulb (aslaab). In its singular form, it means hardening.}}
-We do find it surprising that almost all the commonly available translations of the Qur'an refer to ''sulb'' as the backbone, though some refer to loins. Even Ibn Kathir accepts backbone. Is Wehr a more authoritative and knowledgeable authority on the Arabic language than Ibn Kathir? This is difficult to believe.

-Regardless, Abd-Allah’s proposition collapses with his own definitions of ''tara’ib''. He failed to show that his tafsirs and dictionaries explain ''tara’ib'' to mean vagina. Instead, ''tara’ib'' is defined as breasts, eyes, legs and chest. Any person (sexually-experienced or not) would know that while erogenous zones are important in foreplay, the sexual act really must be consummated through the vagina.

-Further Abd-Allah’s reference to Ibn Kathir’s tafsir is disingenuous as he only mentions the one half of the description which supports his case (i.e. ''tara’ib'' refers to the woman), while leaving out the other half that debunks it (i.e. ''tara’ib'' is the woman’s ribs). This selective quoting may be construed by many readers to be [[Lying|deceptive]] and deceitful.
