📖 Commentary of Surah An-Nahl – Verse 46

"Or that He may seize [97] them while they are in their movements, and they will not be able to escape from Him."

✅ [97] Destruction During Travel

This means Allah may destroy them during their journeys—whether on land or sea—so that they would never be able to return to their homes. Such a punishment would come suddenly, and they would be powerless to escape or resist the grip of Divine might.
