"As for the ship, it belonged to poor people working at sea, so I intended to cause a defect in it, and there was behind them"—meaning: in front of them—"a king who seizes every ship by force." It is [found] in some readings
﴿أما السفنية فَكَانَتْ لِمَسَاكِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ فِي الْبَحْرِ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَعِيبَهَا وَكَانَ وَرَاءَهُمْ﴾ أَيْ: أَمَامَهُمْ ﴿مَلِكٌ يَأْخُذُ كُلَّ سفينة غصبا﴾ وَهِيَ فِي بَعْضِ الْقِرَاءَةِ
