Verse. 2236

'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī

تفسير : (give me pieces of iron till, when he had levelled up (the gap) between the cliffs, he said: blow!) and so they blew into the fire (till, when he had made it a fire) he says: when the iron became as hot as the fire and thus melted, (he said: bring me molten copper to pour thereon) to pour on the wall.

Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī

تفسير : bring me ingots of iron!’, namely, pieces thereof, as large as the [blocks of] stone to be used in the construction; he used these [ingots] in his construction, placing between them firewood and coal. until, when he had levelled up [the gap] between the two flanks (read al-sudufayn, or al-sadafayn or al-sudfayn, meaning, the two flanks of the two mountains) he set up bellows and [lit a] fire around this [construction] — he said, ‘blow!’, and they blew, until, when he had made it, namely, the iron, a fire, that is, like a fire, he said, ‘bring me molten copper to pour over it’ (the two verbs [ātūnī, ‘bring me’, and ufrigh, ‘pour’] are in contention over this [direct object, qitran, ‘molten copper’]; it [this direct object] has been omitted before the first [verb] because it is being governed by the second [verb]). thus he poured the molten copper over the hot iron so that it penetrated between the [individual] ingots, making a [solid] single whole.
