تفسير : (when he fled) from his folk; and it is said: when he abandoned his folk (unto the laden ship) which was about to sail,
Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī
تفسير : when he fled to the laden ship — after he became furious with his people, as the chastisement which he had promised them did not come down on them; so he boarded the ship, which then stopped out in the deep sea. the seamen said, ‘there is a runaway slave here [upon this ship] who has fled from his master: a casting of lots should expose him!’
