Quran 26 Verse 32 Explanation
For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Ash-Shu’ara ayat 32, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.
Ala-Maududi
(26:32) (No sooner had he said this than) Moses threw down his rod and behold, it was a veritable serpent,[27]
27. Thuban means a serpent. At other places, the Quran has used hayyatun (snake) and jaann (a small snake) to describe the snake of the staff. The interpretation given by Imam Razi is that the snake of the staff looked like a serpent from its big size and has been called jaann on account of its swift movement which is characteristic of small snakes.
Ibn-Kathir
