Commentary

Yakhir-ruuna – (they fall down), origin of this word is kharrun. Kharuurun means “to fall down”. This word has passed in Suratul-‘A’-raaf (Chapter 7).

‘Azqaani – (the chins), this word is plural of zaqan, which means “the chin”. Chin is lowest and apparent part of the face. It aims “face”. Therefore, meaning of lil-‘azqaani will become “on their faces”.

It is commanded: O people! This Qur’an is before you. It is your will – Believe therein or believe not! But the people to whom Knowledge was given, they have comprehended it that this Qur’an is the same Word; about which it was promised, and Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is the same Messenger, who has been appointed and sent from the Children of Ishmael.

Therefore, their intelligent people fell down prostrate as soon as they heard the verses of Holy Qur’an from the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and said: Glory to our Lord! Verily He has fulfilled His promise and it was sure that the Promise was to be fulfilled. When they raised their heads from prostration, then influence of the magnificence of this Word appeared on their hearts with such strange eminence that they fell again down on their faces; weeping, and they disclosed their humility and obedience.

This verse is of As-Sajdah (Bowing so as to touch the ground with the forehead in adoration). According to this verse, Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) determined two prostrations in one Rak-‘at of the Prayer.
