* تفسير Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs

{ قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَصْبَحَ مَآؤُكُمْ غَوْراً فَمَن يَأْتِيكُمْ بِمَآءٍ مَّعِينٍ }

(Say) to them, O Muhammad: (Have ye thought) O people of Mecca: (If (all) your water) i.e. Zamzam (were to disappear into the earth) out of your reach, (who then could bring you gushing water) within your reach? It is also said that this means: who could bring you gushing water save the Creator of the whale and the pen'.
