Tafseer
'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī
تفسير : (and caused the earth to gush forth springs) for 40 days, (so that the waters) of the heaven and the earth (met for a predestined purpose) met for a measure that we have appointed: the rain of heaven and the water of springs; it is also said that this means: the waters met for a decreed purpose to destroy the folk of noah.
Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī
تفسير : and we made the earth burst forth with springs, that flowed forth, and the waters, the waters of the heaven and the earth, met for a purpose, a circumstance, that was preordained, [a matter] which had been decreed since pre-eternity, namely, their destruction by drowning.
