Footnotes
1 Of the great fire of Hell.
2 In the form of flints or other means by which to ignite fire. Travelers are mentioned because of the special convenience to them, although it is a provision for all people in general.
We made it a reminder, of the fire of Hell, and a boon, a provision, for the desert-travellers (al-muqween derives from [the expression] aqwaa al-qawmu, 'they have reached al-qawaa or al-qawaa', that is, al-qafr, 'desolate land', which is a wilderness (mafaaza) that has neither vegetation nor water).
