Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
(Have you not seen) O people of Mecca, so that you realise Allah's power and divine Oneness (the birds obedient) subservient (in mid-air) flying between the sky and earth? (None holdeth them save Allah) after they fly. (Lo! Herein) in holding in mid-air, (verily, are portents) signs for Allah's divine Oneness (for a people who believe) that they are held in mid-air by Allah.
