      يَبْكِيَانِ لِأَجْلِ مَنْ تَشَرَّدُوا
      لِأَجْلِ أَطْفَالٍ بِلَا مَنَازِل

    • 609–632 CE, Qur'an, 22:05:
      وَنُقِرُّ فِي الْأَرْحَامِ مَا نَشَاءُ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى ثُمَّ نُخْرِجُكُمْ طِفْلًا ثُمَّ لِتَبْلُغُوا أَشُدَّكُمْ
      wanuqirru fī l-ʔarḥāmi mā našāʔu ʔilā ʔajalin musamman ṯumma nuḵrijukum ṭiflan ṯumma litabluḡū ʔašuddakum
      ˹Then˺ We settle whatever ˹embryo˺ We will in the womb for an appointed term, then bring you forth as infants, so that ye may reach your prime. Some of you ˹may˺ die ˹young˺, while others are left to reach the most feeble stage of life so that they may know nothing after having known much.
    • 609–632 CE, Qur'an, 24:31:
      أَوِ الطِّفْلِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَظْهَرُوا عَلَى عَوْرَاتِ النِّسَاءِ
      ʔawi aṭ-ṭifli allaḏīna lam yaẓharū ʕalā ʕawrāti n-nisāʔi
      or children who are still unaware of women’s nakedness.
