Commentary
And when the cause of this advice led to their denial, and it resulted in their destruction, it was established that the people of evil do not precede. He said: 'So they denied him, and they were seized.' That is, as a result of this, a seizing of overpowering and dominance. 'The quake' means the cry that shook them and destroyed them. 'So they became in their abode' means in their places that were surrounding them, and they used to move about in it. 'Crouching' means lying on their chests, remaining in one place, unable to move at all, because they had no souls.
