Tafseer

'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī

تفسير : (or some morning the water thereof) the water of the garden (will be lost in the earth) will sink in the earth, out of reach (so that thou canst not make search for it) so that you cannot access it.

Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī

تفسير : or [maybe] its water will sink [deep] down (ghawran functions in meaning like ghā’iran, and it constitutes a supplement to yursila, ‘he [will] unleash’, but not [a supplement] to tusbiha, ‘it becomes’, because the sinking of water [deep into the earth] does not [necessarily] result from thunderbolts) so that you have no means of acquiring it’, no possible way of reaching it.
