Tafseer

'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī

تفسير : the angels said to them: (flee not) do not run away, (but return to that (existence) which emasculated you) return to the comfort which you enjoyed (and to your dwellings) and to your houses, (that ye may be questioned) about faith; it is also said that this means: that you may be asked about the killing of the prophet (pbuh).

Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī

تفسير : but the angels said to them scornfully: ‘do not run [away]! return to the opulence, the comforts, which you were given to enjoy and your dwelling-places, that perhaps you might be asked’, for something of your worldly possessions as usual.
