Tafseer
'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī
تفسير : (o my people! go into the holy land) the purified damascus, palestine and parts of jordan (which allah hath ordained for you) which allah has gifted to you and made it a bequest of your father abraham. (turn not in flight) retreating, (for surely ye turn back as losers) who are punished: allah will take away from you the quails and honey:
Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī
تفسير : o my people, enter the holy, the purified, land which god has ordained for you, [which] he commanded you to enter, and this is syria (al-shām), and do not turn back in flight, [do not] retreat in fear of the enemy, or you will end up as losers’, in your efforts.
