Ibn Abbas Commentary

(As they come hurrying on in fear) looking to the caller, (their heads upraised) stretching their necks; it is also said that this means: lowering down their heads, (their gaze returning not to them) out of fear and terror, (and their hearts as air) empty from all goodness; it is also said: neither coming out nor going back in.

as they come hastening muhti‘īna is a circumstantial qualifier with their heads turned upwards to the heaven their gaze their sight returning not to them and their hearts as air devoid of any sense because of their being terror-stricken.
