And We placed between them and the cities which We had blessed [many] visible cities. And We determined between them the [distances of] journey, [saying], "Travel between them by night or day in safety."
Tafseer
{ وجعلنا بينهم } بين سبأ، وهم باليمن { وبين القرى التي باركنا فيها } بالماء والشجر وهي قرى الشام التي يسيرون إليها للتجارة { قرى ظاهرة } متواصلة من اليمن إلى الشام { وقدرنا فيها السير } بحيث يقيلون في واحدة ويبيتون في أخرى إلى انتهاء سفرهم ولا يحتاجون فيه إلى حمل زاد وماء أي وقلنا { سيروا فيها ليالي وأياما آمنين } لا تخافون في ليل ولا في نهار .
{And We placed between them} between Saba, which is in Yemen, {and between the towns which We had blessed} with water and trees, which are the towns of Ash-Sham to which they travel for trade, {towns which are visible} continuous from Yemen to Ash-Sham, {and We measured the journey therein} so that they would rest in one and spend the night in another until the end of their journey and they would not need to carry provisions and water in it, meaning, We said, {Travel therein nights and days in security}, not fearing at night or during the day.
