'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī
تفسير : ((saying): this is our gift) this is our sovereignty, o solomon. we made you a sovereign over the devils, (so bestow thou) favour whom you will among the rebellious and relieve them from their chains, (or withhold) or keep them chained, (without reckoning) without taking anyone to task or incur a sin as a result.
Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī
تفسير : and we said to him: ‘this is our gift. so bestow, grant thereof to whomever you wish, or withhold, from giving, without any reckoning’, in other words, without your being called to account for any of this.
