تفسير : (or say they) in fact, the disbelievers of mecca-abu jahl, al-walid ibn al-mughirah and their hosts-say: ((he is) a poet) who invents things, ((one) for whom we may expect the accident of time) we wait to see him suffer the pangs of death?
Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī
تفسير : or (am means bal) do they say, that he is: ‘a poet, for whom we may await the accidents of fate?’, the vicissitudes of time, so that he will just die like other poets.
