By the night when it covers

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ

By the night when it Yaghshaa (covers)

[Qur'aan 92:1] 

أي يغطي

[Yaghshaa] means Yaghtaa [which means to cover something]

ولم يذكر معه مفعولا للعلم به

And He did not mention, with it, the object [of the verb covers] because of knowledge of it [i.e. it is understood].

 وقيل: يغشى النهار

And it has been said: It covers the day

وقيل: الأرض

And it has been said: [It covers] the earth

وقيل الخلائق

And it has been said: [It covers] the creation

وقيل: يغشى كل شي بظلمته

And it has been said: It covers everything by means of its darkness
