«كالفراش المبثوث‏» That is, like scattered locusts, just as they pile upon each other in such a state; this will be the condition (on the Day of Gathering) of mankind, that they will be falling upon one another.

«كالعهن‏» Like colored wool. Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) recited it as «الصوف‏.‏ المنفوش» meaning, they will be flying about like carded wool.
