this matter a righteous standing and a good standing. It is as if Dhu al-Rumma said:
"You have a standing whose virtue people do not deny; alongside ancient nobility, it rose above the sea."
Meaning: it rose high.
Surat Yunus from verse (3) to verse (6).
هَذَا الأَمْرِ قدمٌ صَالِحَةٌ وقدمٌ حَسَنَةٌ وَكَأَنَّهُ قَالَ ذُو الرُّمَّةِ:
(لَكُمْ قدمٌ لَا يُنْكِرُ النَّاسُ فَضْلَهَا … مَعَ الْحَسَبِ الْعَادِيِّ طَمَّتْ على الْبَحْر﴾
أَي: ارْتَفَعت.
سُورَة يُونُس من الْآيَة (٣) إِلَى الْآيَة (٦).
