And when the wild animals are gathered together,

And when the camels are left untended,

and when the pregnant camels are neglected, abandoned without a herdsman or anyone to milk them, on account of the matter that has come over them -- even though [previously] no wealth was dearer to them than these [pregnant camels];

And when the pregnant she-camels (`Ishar) are neglected (`Uttilat);

Ikrimah and Mujahid said,

"`Ishar are (pregnant she) camels."

Mujahid said,

"`Uttilat means abandoned and left."

Ubayy bin Ka`b and Ad-Dahhak both said,

"Their owners will neglect them."

Ar-Rabi` bin Khuthaym said,

"They will not be milked or tied up. Their masters will leave them abandoned."

Ad-Dahhak said,

"They will be left with no one to tend to them."

And the meaning of all of these statements is similar.

What is intended is that the `Ishar is a type of camel. It is actually the best type of camel, and particularly the pregnant females of them when they have reached the tenth month of their pregnancies. One of them is singularly referred to as `Ushara', and she keeps that name until she gives birth. So the people will be too busy to tend to her, take care of her or benefit from her, after she used to be the most important thing to them. This will be due to what will suddenly overtake them of the great, terrifying and horrible situation.

This is the matter of the Day of Judgement, the coming together of its causes, and the occurrence of those things that will happen before it.
