Peace S2S
I do not claim that I have read all the tafsirs, but the few I read did not take this erronic meaning. In fact, the Arabic version says , a normal Arabic expression
- Tafseer Ar-raazi a.Waters of the west seas is hot, so the sun looks as if itis setting in hot waters; b. according to Algiba'i, the waters were dark and it looked murky.
- Alkashaf Same thing.
Both tafseers discuss whether it was "murky" water or "hot" water, nothing about the setting per se.
I could not see explicit understanding of (in (aka inside) murky waters ) except in Altabary quoting Ka3b (Ala7baar) who said You know Qur'aan better than me, but I see in the book (torah) that it sets in black mud!!!
So, this distorted understanding comes from Ka3b, quoted in Altabary!!!
Talk about Israeliyyaat!!
