* تفسير Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs

{ قَالُواْ تَقَاسَمُواْ بِٱللَّهِ لَنُبَيِّتَنَّهُ وَأَهْلَهُ ثُمَّ لَنَقُولَنَّ لِوَلِيِّهِ مَا شَهِدْنَا مَهْلِكَ أَهْلِهِ وَإِنَّا لَصَادِقُونَ }

(They said: Swear one to another by Allah that we verily will attack him and his household by night) and kill them all, (and afterward we will surely say unto his friend) to his inheritors and relatives: (We witnessed not the destruction of his household) we did not witness the killing of Salih and his household. (And lo! we are truth tellers) they will believe us and no one will reject what we say.
