Interpretations of why the Ship was damaged
This is an explanation of what Musa found so hard to understand, and the appearence of which he condemed.

يَأْخُذُ كُلَّ سَفِينَةٍ
( seized every boat ), i.e., every good, sound boat
غَصْباً
( by force. ) `So I wanted to prevent him from taking this boat by making it appear faulty, so that its poor owners who had nothing else could benefit from it.' It was also said that they were orphans.
