| Asad | and even demanded that he give up his guests [to them]: [See 11:77-79 and the corresponding notes.] whereupon We deprived them of their sight [and thus told them, as it were]: [According to Ibn Abbas (as quoted by Razi), the expression tams al-ayn ("deprivation of sight") denotes here a "veiling [of something] from one's consciousness" (hajb an al-idrak). Hence, the phrase tamasna ayunahum may be understood to mean that God deprived them, in consequence of their evil propensities, of all moral insight (cf. 36:66 and the corresponding notes), and thus made them liable - as the sequence shows - to undergo bitter suffering in this world and in the next.] "Taste, then, the suffering which I inflict when My warnings are disregarded!" |
