What are the rhetorical aspects and linguistic inimitability in the verse: "And [for] women of post-menstrual age who have no desire for marriage - there is no blame upon them for putting aside their outer garments [but] not displaying beauty. But to modestly refrain [from that] is better for them. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing." (An-Nur 60)?

Perhaps the linguistic miracle in the use of (al-qawa'id - women who have passed the age of childbearing) instead of (al-'ajaa'iz - old people) is that "al-qawa'id" is a description specific to women, while the term "al-'ajaa'iz" includes both men and women.
