Tafseer
'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī
تفسير : (until, when gog and magog are let loose) then they will emerge, (and they) i.e. gog and magog (hasten out of every mound) and elevated location.
Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī
تفسير : until (hattā, [a particle] expressing the end of the prohibition of their return) when gog and magog (read ya’jūju wa-ma’jūju or yājūju wa-mājūju, [these are] non-arabic names of two tribes; there is an implicit genitive annexation before this clause, namely, the [gates of the] sadd, ‘the barrier’, [built] against them) are let loose (read futihat or futtihat) — and this will happen near the [time of the] resurrection — and they slide down, they hasten, from every slope, [every] highland.
