Qur'an 81:15-18 At-Takwir

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلْخُنَّسِ ٱلْجَوَارِ ٱلْكُنَّسِ وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ

So I swear by the retreating stars -Those that run [their courses] and disappear -And by the night as it closes inAnd by the dawn when it breathes

What it says · verse 15

The second half of the surah begins with an oath, and the oath is sworn by things that withdraw. Khunnas is from a verb meaning to draw back and disappear from where you were standing.
