Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 3657 — Surah al-Kahf

Ishaq bin Abi Isra'il narrates from Hisham bin Yusuf, and he, in the exegesis of Ibn Jurayj, concerning this saying of Allah Almighty: "And he found near it a people" [Surah al-Kahf: 86], that he said: "It is a city with twelve thousand gates. Were it not for the noise of its inhabitants, people would surely hear the crackling and roaring sound of the sun as it sets."
