Tafseer Ibn Kathir

By the earth and Ma Tahaha.

Mujahid said,

"Tahaha means He spread it out."

Al-`Awfi reported from Ibn `Abbas that he said,
وَمَا طَحَـهَا
(and Ma Tahaha.),

"This means what He created in it." `

Ali bin Abi Talhah reported from Ibn Abbas that he said,

"Tahaha means that He proportioned it."

Mujahid, Qatadah, Ad-Dahhak, As-Suddi, Ath-Thawri, Abu Salih and Ibn Zayd all said that
طَحَـهَا
(Tahaha) means, He spread it out.

Allah then says,

وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّاهَا
