Bukhari

Its example is like in Surah Yusuf where it is said «واسأل القرية‏ واسأل ‏العير‏» meaning, "Ask the people of the town and the caravan" «ظهريا‏» meaning, "Do they not look around?" When the Arabs do not get their work done, they say «ظهرت حاجتي» or «جعلتني ظهريا‏» "You have put my work behind your back," or "You have put me behind your back." «ظهري» refers to that animal or «ظرف» which you keep with you to increase your strength «مكانتهم» and «مكانهم» both have the same meaning. «لم يغنوا‏» "They did not remain alive." They did not even settle there (in Surah Al-Ma'idah). «فلاتاس» "Do not be grieved" (in Surah Al-A'raf). «آسى‏» "I am grieved, I am sorrowful." Imam Hasan al-Basri said (in Surah Hud) regarding the statement of the disbelievers that was quoted: «إنك لأنت الحليم‏ الرشيد» so this was said by the disbelievers in mockery. Mujahid said, in Surah Ash-Shu'ara, «ليكة» refers to «أيكة» meaning, "in the thicket." «يوم الظلة‏» meaning, "The day the punishment appeared in the form of a canopy" (fire rained down from the cloud).

Mujahid said: «مليم» means sinner. «المشحون» means heavily laden. «فلولا أنه كان من المسبحين» until the end. «فنبذناه بالعراء» means the surface of the earth. «يقطين» is that tree which does not stand on its own root, like gourd, etc. «وأرسلناه إلى مائة ألف أو يزيدون فآمنوا فمتعناهم إلى حين». (In Surah Nun it is said) «مكظوم» which is in the meaning of «كظيم», that is, sorrowful, distressed.

Narrated `Abdullah: The Prophet said, "None of you should say that I am better than Yunus (i.e. Jonah)." Musadded added, "Jonah bin Matta."

(In the verse) «لتنوء‏» means «لتثقل‏», that is, they were heavy. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said in the explanation of «أولي القوة‏» that even a strong group of people could not lift its keys. «الفرحين‏» means «المرحين», the boastful. «ويكأن‏» is like «ألم تر أن». «الله ‏يبسط الرزق لمن يشاء ويقدر‏» means: Do you not know that Allah expands provision for whom He wills and restricts it for whom He wills?
