Al-Jalalayn Commentary

Do you read a-innakum pronouncing both hamzas or by not pronouncing the second one but in both cases inserting an alif between the two; a variant reading has innakum ‘indeed you … ’ come lustfully to men instead of women? Nay you are a wanton folk’ transgressing the bounds going from what is lawful to what is unlawful.

(Lo! ye come with lust) you find more lust (unto men) in men's behinds (instead of women) instead of the vaginas of women. (Nay, but ye, are wanton folk) in idolatry; you transgress from the lawful to that which is prohibited.
