Commentary

﴿So his mother﴾ means the one who shelters him and embraces him, as it is said to the earth: mother - because it aims for that, and he resides in it as he resides with his mother. Likewise, the dwelling, and he understands that he is created from it, dominated by the nature of the devil due to the fiery element being the majority of his parts. And it is magnified by the indefinite article and the expression with the known description that it has no stability, so it is said: ﴿a bottomless pit﴾ meaning a fire that is very low and he is in a state of continuously falling into it, descending, and he is in a displeasing life. The verse is from the intertwining, mentioning the life first as evidence for its omission second, and mentioning the mother second as evidence for its omission first.
