Tafsir
Verse range: 53:54

The doubling (tashdid) in ghashaha (فغشاها) may be for the purpose of making the verb transitive, in which case ma (ما) is the second object, and the subject is His—Exalted is He—pronoun. It is also possible that it is for the purpose of intensification and hyperbole, in which case ma (ما) is the subject.
