The author of 'the' quran sometimes (often?) repeats a phrase. In this short post we shall be looking at the phrase above which occurs in two verses.


S 4:3 And if you fear not being equitable to the orphans then futter what was agreeable to you of the women--two and three and four. But if you fear not acting justly then one or what your right hands have possessed. That is more appropriate that you may not oppress.


Regarding this very odd verse, see:



S 35:1 Praise be to Lah, splitter of the skies and the Earth, maker of the angels as messengers. Possessors of wings, two and three and four. He increases in creation what he wills. Allah is mighty over everything.


Three-winged angels? Jibril, supposedly an angel, has 600 wings. If it be argued that 'Allah increases in creation what it wills', then was Jib created after this point? And would Jib be the only angel to have 600? If so, why?
