And from his narration on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas that he said regarding the interpretation of Allah's saying (Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of Daybreak): '(Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of Daybreak) He says: Say, O Muhammad, I seek protection, and it is said: I seek refuge, in the Lord of daybreak; and it is also said that al-falaq refers to a well in the Fire; and it is also said that al-falaq is a valley in the Fire.
(From the evil of that which He created) from the evil of any from among His creation that possesses evil;
(From the evil of the darkness when it is intense,
And from the evil of malignant witchcraft,
And from the evil of the envier when he envieth) this refers to Labid Ibn al-A'sam, the Jew, who was envious of the Prophet (pbuh) and used black magic to separate him from 'A'ishah'.
