Tafsir of 37:89

فَتَوَلَّوْاْ عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ (So they turned away from him and departed.) Qatadah said, "The Arabs say of one who thinks deeply that he is looking at the stars."

Two were for the sake of Allah: (one is) when he said, "Verily, I am sick"; (the second) when he said, "Nay, this one, the biggest of them (idols) did it"; and (the third) when he said concerning (his wife) Sarah, "She is my sister." This Hadith is recorded in the books of the Sahih and Sunan with various chains of narrations.…
