[ 42.Rc4 Rb3+ 43.R1c3 Qg3+ 44.Kc2 Rxc3+ 45.Rxc3 Qc7 46.Kb3 Kg6 47.Kc4 ]

 42...Qd4+  43.Ke2 Qe5

[ 43...Rb2+ 44.R3c2 Qc3 45.Rxb2 Qxc1 46.Kd3 Qf1+ 47.Kd4 Qc1 48.Rb8 Qg1+ 49.Ke5 Qg3+ 50.Ke6 Qxc7 51.Rb7 Qxb7 52.Bxb7 ]

44.Re3??  what Abdullah has in his mind? Abdullah may just want to win and so he moves the rook to avoid perpetual check  Q-h2 +
