وَالْعَادِيَاتِ ضَبْحًا
فَالْمُورِيَاتِ قَدْحًا
فَالْمُغِيرَاتِ صُبْحًا
فَأَثَرْنَ بِهِ نَقْعًا
فَوَسَطْنَ بِهِ جَمْعًا
By the racers, panting [100:1]
And the producers of sparks [when] striking [100:2]
And the chargers at dawn, [100:3]
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust, [100:4]
Arriving thereby in the center collectively, [100:5]

Hamiduddin Farahi is a celebrated Islamic scholar of Indian subcontinent is known for his groundbreaking work on the concept of Nazm, or Coherence, in the Quran. He writes that Some sūrahs have been given names after some conspicuous words used in them.Jalaluddin Al-Suyuti co-author of the classical Sunni tafsīr known as Tafsir al-Jalalayn suggests that some of the sūrahs have been named using incipits (i.e. the first few words of the sūrah). The Surah has been so designated after the word ash-shams with which it opens. "The Surah has been so entitled after the word al `adiyat with which it opens." - Abul A'la Maududi a notable islamic scholar of the 20th century thus concludes in his magnum opus.
