The expression “Yawma Yukshafu ‘an Sāqin” (Qur’an 68:42) is one of the metaphorical verses of the Qur'ān that have been the point of disagreement among the Qur’anic exegetes and its meaning has not been properly explained. The Sunni exegetical sources, based on some narrations attributed to the Prophet (PBUHH), have considered the intended meaning of the verse to refer to the incarnation of God on the Day of Judgment, and they believe that God will reveal His leg on that day. There are other meanings in the exegetical sources of the two schools of thought that do not conform to the context of the verse.
The present article using a critical-descriptive method aims to criticize the narrations quoted under the verse and find a suitable meaning based on the context of the verses in an attempt to provide an answer to the question, ‘What is the most appropriate meaning of the expression “Yawma Yukshafu ‘An Sāqin”’? For this purpose, after expressing and analyzing the opinions of the Qur’anic exegetes of the two schools of thought on the interpretation of the verse, it is obvious that the expression was addressed to the polytheists who denied the truthfulness of the Prophet's message and they were promised that they will witness the revealed facts on the Day of Judgment. It is therefore better to consider the meaning of “removing the dress and revealing the leg” as a metaphor which means the revelation of hidden truths. That given meaning contradicts the context of the verses, and authentic narrations and the use of this recent meaning in Arabic poetry also confirm its preference over other meanings.
