| Asad | Art thou not aware that they roam confusedly through all the valleys [of words and thoughts], [The idiomatic phrase hama fi widyan (lit,, "he wandered or "roamed"] through valleys") is used, as most of the commentators point out, to describe a confused or aimless - and often self-contradictory - play with words and thoughts. In this context it is meant to stress the difference between the precision of the Quran, which is free from all inner contradictions (cf. note on 4:82), and the vagueness often inherent in poetry.] |
