Tafseer
'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī
تفسير : (or chooseth he daughters of all that he hath created) i.e. of the angels, (and honours) and choose (he you) i.e. the banu malih (with sons?
Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī
تفسير : or (am has the significance of the hamza of denial; the ‘saying’ is implied, in other words, a-taqūlūna, ‘[or] do you say that …’) he has adopted, from all that he has created, daughters, for himself, and preferred you, privileged you, with sons? — that which is the necessary inference from what you claim and which by itself is an abomination.
