Tafseer
'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī
تفسير : (and come not near unto adultery) secretly or openly. (lo! it is an abomination) a transgression and sin (and an evil way) to choose.
Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī
تفسير : and do not come [anywhere] near fornication — this [form of expressing it] is more effective than [saying] ‘do not commit it’. it is indeed an indecency, an abomination, and, it is, an evil way.
