113The Daybreak (Al-Falaq)
[113:1]
Say: ‘I seek refuge
in the Lord of the Daybreak, the morning,
[113:2]
from the evil of what
He has created, of obligated animate beings and non-obligated ones and from all
inanimates, such as poison and so on;
[113:3]
and from the evil of
darkness when it gathers, that is, [from] night when it becomes dark and the
moon
when it is absent,
[113:4]
and from the evil of
the women-blowers, sorceresses who blow, on knots, which they knot into
strings,
blowing into them [certain] words, but without spittle;
however, al-Zamakhsharī says, ‘with this [spittle]’
[sorceresses] such as the daughters of the said Labīd —
[113:5]
and from the evil of
an envier when he envies’, [when] he manifests his envy and behaves in
accordance
with it — such as the mentioned Labīd from among the Jews
who were envious of the Prophet (s); the mention of these three [elements of
evil] which are [already] subsumed by [the statement] ‘of what He has created’,
is because of the severity of their evil.
Meccan or Medinese, consisting of 6 verses.
