Tafsir

Ruh al-Ma'ani

Verse range: 26:119

Open in Qurani

*Fanjaynahu waman ma’ahu* (So We saved him and those with him)

(In accordance with his supplication, peace be upon him)

*Fil-fulkil mashhun* (In the laden ship)

Meaning: The ship filled with them and with what they required—whether presently, such as food, or potentially, such as animals.

The word al-fulk is used for both singular and plural. Wherever it occurs in the Noble Quran as a terminal verse (end of an ayah), it is used in the singular; where it does not occur as a terminal verse, it is used in the plural, as stated in al-Bahr.
