Tafsir

Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

Al-Qamar 54:31

Word by word

إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ صَيْحَةً وَٰحِدَةً فَكَانُوا۟ كَهَشِيمِ ٱلْمُحْتَظِرِ

Indeed, We sent upon them one shriek [i.e., blast from the sky], and they became like the dry twig fragments of an [animal] pen.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

( إنا أرسلنا عليهم صيحة واحدة فكانوا كهشيم المحتظر ) أي : فبادوا عن آخرهم لم تبق منهم باقية ، وخمدوا وهمدوا كما يهمد يبيس الزرع والنبات . قاله غير واحد من المفسرين . والمحتظر - قال السدي - : هو المرعى بالصحراء حين يبس وتحرق ونسفته الريح .وقال ابن زيد : كانت العرب يجعلون حظارا على الإبل والمواشي من يبيس الشوك ، فهو المراد من قوله : ( كهشيم المحتظر ) .وقال سعيد بن جبير : ( كهشيم المحتظر ) : هو التراب المتناثر من الحائط . وهذا قول غريب ، والأول أقوى ، والله أعلم .
