* Imam al-Bukhari has reported a hadith in al-Jami‘ al-Sahih supporting these meanings from the venerable Companion Anas b. Malik. Moreover, ‘Abd Allah b. ‘Abbas, Imam al-Hasan al-Basri, Imam Ja‘far b. Muhammad al-Sadiq, Muhammad b. Ka‘b al-Qurazi, al-Dahhak and many other leading exegetes hold the same view. See: al-Tabari, Ibn Kathir, al-Baghawi, al-Razi, al-Khazin, Abu al-Sa‘ud, al-Qurtubi, al-Tha‘labi, Abu Hafs al-Hanbali, al-Suyuti, and others.
