Al-Falaq
سورة الفلقThis is the Arabic text of the Tafsīr al-Jalālayn of Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī and Jalāl al-Dīn as-Suyūṭī as the OpenITI corpus has it, from the copy of altafsir.com that the COBHUNI project of Hamburg University took: only the commentary on the verses, with no introductions, no edition and no pagination. Nobody has compared it with a printed book or a manuscript, and no scholar has reviewed it. Each passage stands beside the verses it comments on, which are the Qur’ān text of Tanzil, shown as it is there. Beneath each passage stands its English translation by Feras Hamza, as the copy of Tarteel’s Quranic Universal Library has it; nobody has compared that copy with the printed book either.

قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْفَلَقِ 1
{ قل أعوذ برب الفلق } الصبح.
Say: ‘I seek refuge in the Lord of the Daybreak, the morning,
مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ 2
{ من شر ما خلق } من حيوان مكلف وغير مكلف وجماد كالسم وغير ذلك.
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;
وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ 3
{ ومن شر غاسق إذا وقب } أي الليل إذا أظلم، أوالقمر إذا غاب.
and from the evil of darkness when it gathers, that is, [from] night when it becomes dark and the moon when it is absent,
وَمِن شَرِّ ٱلنَّفَّـٰثَـٰتِ فِى ٱلْعُقَدِ 4
{ ومن شر النفثت } السواحر تنفث { فى العقد } التي تعقدها في الخيط تنفخ فيها بشيء تقوله من غير ريق. وقال الزمخشري معه كبنات لبيد المذكور.
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 —
وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ 5
{ ومن شر حاسد إذا حسد } أظهر حسده وعمل بمقتضاه كلبيد المذكور من اليهود الحاسدين للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، وذكر الثلاثة الشامل لها «ما خلق» بعده لشدة شرها.
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.
