Tafseer

'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī

تفسير : (feel ye) o people of mecca (then secure that he will not cause a slope of the land to engulf you) just as korah was engulfed, (or send) or that he will not send (a sandstorm upon you,) stones upon you as he did send on the people of lot, (and then ye will find that ye have no protector) no one to help you?

Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī

تفسير : do you feel secure that he will not cause a side of the earth, in other words, the land, to swallow you up, as [he did] with korah (qārūn), or unleash upon you a squall of pebbles? that is, hurl a shower of stones upon you, as [he did] with the people of lot. then you will not find for yourselves any guardian, any protector from him.
