"Allah said: "O Adam.'' Adam said, "Here I am at Your service.'' Allah said, "Send fort h t he group of Hellfire.''

At t hat t ime young men will t urn grey and every pregnant female will drop her load. Among you are t wo nat ions who never come t o anyt hing but t hey overwhelm it wit h t heir huge numbers.

(They said: "O Dhul-Qarnayn! Verily, Ya'j uj and Ma'j uj are doing great mischief in t he land.

Dhul-Qarnayn said wit h kindness, right eousness and good int ent ions,

(That in which my Lord had est ablished me is bet t er (t han your t ribut e).) meaning, t he power and aut horit y t hat Allah has given me is bet t er for me t han what you have collect ed. This is like when Sulayman (Solomon), peace be upon him, said:

(Will you help me in wealt h What Allah has given me is bet t er t han t hat which He has given you!) ぴ27:36び Similarly, Dhul-Qarnayn said: ` What I have is bet t er t han what you want t o give me, but help me wit h st rengt h,' i.e., wit h your labor and const ruct ion equipment ,

(I will erect bet ween you and t hem a barrier. Give me Zubar of iron,) Zubar is t he plural of Zubrah, which means pieces or chunks of somet hing. This was t he view of Ibn ` Abbas, Muj ahid
and Qat adah. These pieces were like bricks or blocks, and it was said t hat each block weighed one Damascene Qint ar or more.

The scholars differed about t he precise widt h and height .

(he said: "Bring me Qit ran t o pour over t hem.'') Ibn ` Abbas, Muj ahid, ` Ikrimah, Ad-Dahhak, Qat adah and As-Suddi said it was copper. Some of t hem added t hat it was molt en. This is similar t o t he Ayah:

(And We caused a fount of Qit ran t o flow for him) ぴ34:12び. So it resembled a st riped cloak.
