Surah Saad Ayat 32 Tafsir (Commentry)

  • Ala-Madudi
  • Shaheen International

67. Because these horses are a means of Holy War and since Jihad is an act of worship, its provisions, too, are dear

68. The love for these horses is not for worldly gain but for the sake of Allah Almighty. This does not mean that Hazrat Sulaiman (On whom be peace) neglected Salash; to take care of these horses, as has been stated by some commentators. This type of behavior is against the status of Prophethood. 

69. It is the horses that had hidden and not the because no mention has been made here of the sun. This means in his desire to see the horses running, he had given an order to them to gallop so quickly that they soon disappeared out of his view.

34. The Arabic word khair in the text is used for abundance of wealth as well as for horses metaphorically. As the Prophet Solomon (peace be upon him) had kept these horses for fighting in the way of Allah, he called them khair.

(32) And he said, "Indeed, I gave preference to the love of good [things] over the remembrance of my Lord until it [i.e., the sun] disappeared into the curtain [of darkness]."
