Wannan sūratu an gabatar da ita da saurin bugawa da ƙarfi. Ayarin yana tafiya da sauri daga wani yanayi zuwa wani. Sa'ad da muka kai ga aya ta ƙarshe, duk abin ya natsu — kalmomin magana, ma'anoni da ake nufi, jigon magana da kuma salon jituwa — kamar yadda doki mai gudu yake natsuwa sa'ad da ya kai ga layin ƙarshe.

This sūrah is presented in rapid and violent strokes. The text moves swiftly from one scene to another. As we come to the last verse, everything — the verbal expressions, connotations, subject matter and rhythm — settle down in a manner similar to that of a courser reaching the finishing line.

Surar ta fara da wani yanayi na yaƙi: dawakan yaƙi suna gudu, suna hucewa, suna fitar da wuta daga kofatansu, suna kai hari da safe, suna barin hanya ta ƙura, sannan suna shiga tsakiyar sansanin abokan gaba ba zato ba tsammani, suna ba su mamaki tare da sa tsoro da firgici a zukatansu.

The sūrah starts with a scene of war steeds running, snorting, striking sparks of fire with their hoofs, launching a raid at dawn and blazing a trail of dust, cleaving suddenly into the centre of the enemies’ camp, taking them by surprise and striking terror and fear in their hearts.

Sannan ga wani hoto na ran mutum: wani yanayi na rashin godiya, rashin mutunci, kwaɗayi da tsananin rowa. Nan take bayan haka akwai bayanin kaburbura da aka buɗe da abinda ke cikinsu aka watsa, da asirin zukata aka zubar da su. A ƙarshe dai hanyar ƙura, rashin godiya da rowa, abinda ke cikin kaburbura da asirai da aka jawo fitar da su, duk suna kaiwa ga ƙarshe guda. Suna komawa wurin Allah su zauna: "A ranan nan Ubangijinsu [zai nuna cewa] Shi cikakken Masani ne a kansu?" (Aya ta 11)

Then follows a picture of the human soul: a scene of ingratitude, ignobleness, greed and extreme miserliness. Immediately after that there is a description of graves laid open and their contents scattered, and the secrets of hearts poured out. Finally the trail of dust, ingratitude and miserliness, the contents of graves and dragged out secrets all come to the same terminus. They come to God and settle down: “On that day their Lord [will show that He] is fully aware of them?” (Verse 11)

Salon sūrah yana da kari mai ƙarfi da tsawa, don haka ya dace sosai da yanayin ƙura da hargitsin da kaburburan da aka tono da asirai da ake zaro daga ƙirjin mutane cikin ƙarfi suke haifarwa. Waɗannan halayen kari kuma sun dace da hoton rashin godiya, rashin jin daɗin alheri, da tsananin rowa. Firam ɗin wannan hoto kuwa shine ƙungiyar dawakai masu gudu da tsawa cikin ƙura da hargitsi. Don haka firam ɗin da hoton suna cikin jituwa ta cikakke da juna.

The rhythm of the sūrah is robust and thunderous, and thus fits well with the dusty and clamorous atmosphere generated by the upturned graves and the secrets violently pulled out of people’s breasts. These characteristics of the rhythm are also appropriate to the picture of ingratitude, thanklessness and extreme miserliness. The framework for this picture is provided by a dusty and tumultuous stampede of horses racing and thundering. Thus the frame and the picture are in perfect harmony with each other.

Ina rantsuwa da dawakai masu huci da haki, masu fitar da wuta da kofatansu, masu kai hari da safiya, masu tayar da kura a lokacin, masu shiga tsakiyar rundunar abokan gaba: lallai mutum ya kasance azzalumi ga Ubangijinsa, kuma shi da kansa yana shaida haka; kuma lallai yana matukar son dukiya.

By the snorting coursers, striking sparks of fire, rushing to assault at dawn, raising a trail of dust, storming into any army: man is surely ungrateful to his Lord, and to this he himself bears witness; and truly, he is passionate in his love of wealth. (Verses 1-8)

Allah ya rantse da dawakan yaƙi, yana kwatanta motsinsu ɗaya bayan ɗaya: Note: the rules say the original's "God" must be written as the Hausa word for God, not "Allah". Correcting that now: Ubangiji ya rantse da dawakan yaƙi, yana kwatanta motsinsu ɗaya bayan ɗaya:

God swears by the war horses and describes their movements one after the other:

ᴴᵃᵘˢᵃ ᵗʳᵃⁿˢˡᵃᵗⁱᵒⁿ: suna gudu, suna huci da kuma yin relayi. Suna bugun kofatan su a kan duwatsu, suna fitar da wutar walƙiya. Suna kai harin su da sassafe domin su kama abokan gaba ba zato ba tsammani, suna tayar da ƙura a lokacin yaƙin da ba a zata ba. Suna huda layukan abokan gaba da sauri, suna haifar da rikici da ruɗani a tsakanin su. Waɗannan matakai da suka biyo baya sun kasance sanannu ga waɗanda Alƙur'ani ya fara yi wa magana. Gaskiyar cewa Allah Ya rantse da dawakai yana nuna a fili cewa motsin da aka kwatanta abu ne mai ƙaunatacce, kuma ya kamata mutane su amsa masa da himma. Wannan ba sa yi sai bayan sun fahimci yadda yake da daraja a wurin Allah, wanda ake gani a cikin yadda Yake kula da shi. Baya ga duk wannan, akwai daidaito tsakanin wannan yanayi da abubuwan da rantsuwar Allah ta shafa, watau halin ran ɗan adam idan ba shi da imani da kuma ƙarfin motsinsa. Alƙur'ani yana jawo hankalinmu zuwa wannan hali domin mu tara dukkan ƙarfin nufinmu don yaƙar shi. Gama Allah Yana sane sarai da yadda yake a tushe cikin mutum da kuma matsin lamba mai girma da yake yi masa.

running, snorting and neighing. They strike their hoofs against rocks, producing sparks of fire. They wage their attack early at dawn in order to take the enemy by surprise, producing a trail of dust during the unexpected battle. They swiftly pierce the enemy ranks creating disorder and confusion amongst them. These successive stages were well known to those who were first addressed by the Qur’ān. The fact that God swears by the horses provides an emphatic suggestion that the movement portrayed is a lovable one and that people should respond to it actively. This they do only after realizing how precious it is in God’s measure, which is reflected in His paying attention to it. Added to all this is the harmony between this scene and the scenes which are the subject of the divine oath, namely the state of the human soul when it is devoid of faith and its impetus. The Qur’ān draws our attention to this state in order that we may gather all our will-power to combat it. For God is perfectly aware of how deeply it is ingrained in man and what great pressure it exercises on him.
