✅ [49] A Symbol of Purity and Soft Beauty

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah As-Saffat verse 49 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Saffat ayat 38 which provides the complete commentary from verse 38 through 49.

(37:49) so delicate as the hidden peel under an egg’s shell.[30]

Ala-Maududi

(37:49) so delicate as the hidden peel under an egg’s shell.[30]


30. The words of the text actually mean this: As if they were the hidden or well preserved eggs. The commentators have given different interpretations of these words, but the correct commentary is the one which Umm Salamah has related from the Prophet (peace be upon him). She says that when she asked the Prophet (peace be upon him), the meaning of this verse, he said: Their delicacy and elegance and tenderness will be like the thin skin which is there between the shell of the egg and its fleshy part. (Ibn Jarir).

(49) As if they were [delicate] eggs, well-protected.
