ثُمَّ اَتْبَعَ سَبَبًا(89) حَتّٰۤى اِذَا بَلَغَ مَطْلِعَ الشَّمْسِ وَجَدَهَا تَطْلُعُ عَلٰى قَوْمٍ لَّمْ نَجْعَلْ لَّهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِهَا سِتْرًاۙ (90) كَذٰلِكَؕ-وَ قَدْ اَحَطْنَا بِمَا لَدَیْهِ خُبْرًا(91)

Then he followed a path. Until, when he reached the place of sunrise and found it (the Sun) rising upon atribe for[1] whom We did not create a covering against it.[2] Thus it is—and Our knowledge encompasses whatever he had.

Commentary

[1]

The exegetes state that this nation was located in an area where there were no barriers, such as mountains and trees, between them and the sun, nor could any building be constructed there due to the softness of the ground; when the sun would rise, the people would go into underground caves, and after midday they would come out and go about their work. (Al-Khāzin, Surah Al-Kahf, under the verse 90, vol. 3, p. 224; Rūḥ-Al-Bayān, Surah Al-Kahf, under the verse 90, vol. 5, p. 294, selected)

[2]

There is great diversity among the creation, and there is a great difference in how they all live their lives too; this is the Power and Wisdom of Allah Almighty.
