[106] Although the meaning of the word »Ã¼\· is disputed by some,
Jeffery seems to be correct in seeing it as another name for Hell based on an
Ethiopic word for "fire"; see Vocabulary, pp. 285 f. Jeffery translates the
verses 101:6-8 as follows: "And as for him whose balances are light,
"hawiya" is his mother. And who shall teach you what that is? It is a raging
fire."
[107] Baumstark thought this was due to Muhammad having
misunderstood a Christian picture which he had seen; ZDMG, 82 (Neue
Folge 7), LXVIII as referred to in Ahrens, "Christliches," ZDMG, 84
(1930), p. 51, n. 1.
