(As if they were yellow camels) (33)

The sparks emerge massive like a palace (a tall, huge building).

These flying sparks are likened to yellow camels (large, black she-camels) in:

Size: enormous like palaces...

Color: blackish-yellow (the color of intense flame and smoke).

Quantity and Movement: They fly and appear like a herd of black camels moving quickly and spreading out, which increases the terror and dread.

Mujahid, Al-Hasan, Qatadah, Ad-Dahhak, and Ibn Jarir: black camels (black she-camels).
