تَرَكُوهُمْ مُلَحَّبِينَ فَآبُوا بِنِهَابٍ يَصِمُّ مِنْهَا الْحُدَاءُ
Translation: They left them cut and scattered, then returned with booty whose accompanying cries seemed deafening.
The commentary relates mulaḥḥabīn to cutting and wounding. Fa-ābū, from ʾ-w-b, means “then they returned.” Nihāb refers to spoils, and ḥudāʾ to the rhythmic call associated with driving animals.
Yaṣimmu makes the sound seem deafening: a poetic hyperbole for a tumultuous victorious return, not a literal medical claim about hearing loss.
