Mujahid said the meaning of «تفيضون‏» is what you utter with your tongue, what you say.

(From this, the word «أثر» is used for the hadith, meaning it is the remaining knowledge of the Prophet, peace be upon him.) And Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, said the meaning of «بدعا من الرسل‏» is that I am not the first messenger to come to the world.

Upon this people, a punishment of a strong wind came with clouds, by which all were destroyed.

Marwan said, "It is he (`AbdurRahman) about whom Allah revealed this Verse:-- 'And the one who says to his parents: 'Fie on you! Do you hold out the promise to me..?'" On that, `Aisha said from behind a screen, "Allah did not reveal anything from the Qur'an about us except what was connected with the declaration of my innocence (of the slander).
