Tafseer

'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī

تفسير : (had they but found a refuge) to run to, (or caverns) in the mountain, (or a place to enter) or an underground passage, (they surely had resorted thither swift as runaways) they would have promptly gone there.

Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī

تفسير : if they could find a shelter, in which to seek refuge, or some caverns, underground chambers, or any place to enter, they would turn and bolt away to it, they would hasten to enter it and get away from you with the undeterred speed of an indomitable steed.
