Most scholars interpreted "al-Khunnas and al-Kunnas" as the stars that appear at night and disappear during the day, and this is the saying of Ali ibn Abi Talib. Some interpreted them as wild cows that return late to their shelters, and this is the saying of Ibn Abbas and Ibn Mas'ud. Ibn al-Jawzi mentioned, citing al-Mawardi, that what is meant by them are the angels.
