Tafseer Ibn Kathir

As if they were wild donkeys. Fleeing from a Qaswarah.

meaning, as if they were fleeing from the truth and turning away from it, like a wild donkey when it flees from something that is trying to catch it, like a lion.

This was said by Abu Hurayrah.

Hammad bin Salamah reported from `Ali bin Zayd who reported from Yusuf bin Mihran who narrated that Ibn `Abbas said,

"It (Qaswarah) is the lion in the Arabic language. It is called Qaswarah in the Abyssinian language, Sher in the Persian language and Awba in the Nabtiyyah (Nabatean) language."

Concerning Allah's statement,

بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ امْرِيٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُوْتَى صُحُفًا مُّنَشَّرَةً
