Translation

As if they were yellowish [black] camels.

Tafsir

as if they were [dark] yellow camels (jimaalaatun is the plural of jimalatun, the plural of jamalun; a variant reading has jimaalatun), in terms of their shape and colour. In hadeeth [it is stated], 'The sparks of humans [thrown into the air by the Hellfire] are black as pitch (qeer)'; the Arabs call dark camels sufr, 'yellow', because a touch of yellow is mixed with their blackish colour, and therefore it is said that 'yellow' in this verse [actually] means 'black', on account of what has been mentioned; but some say no [to this interpretation]; (sharar is the plural of sharaara; qeer is qaar, 'pitch').
