The meaning of falaq

Shaykh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣaduq
۞
1. My father, may Allah grant him mercy, said: We were told by Muhammed bin Abi’l-Qasem, from Muhammed bin Ali al-Kufi, from Uthman bin Isa, from Mu’awiya bin Wahab, that he said
We were at the place of Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, and a man recited: «Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the falaq» (113:1). Then the man said: What is the falaq? He said: A cut in the Fire in which there are seventy countries, in every country there are sevent thousand houses, in every house there are seventy thousand snakes, in the inside of every snake there are seventy thousand jars of poison which the people of the Fire must pass by.
أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا محمد بن أبي القاسم، عن محمد بن علي الكوفي، عن عثمان بن عيسى، عن معاوية بن وهب قال
كنا عند أبي عبد الله عليه السلام فقرأ رجل: " قل أعوذ برب الفلق " فقال الرجل: وما الفلق؟ قال: صدع في النار فيه سبعون ألف دار، في كل دار سبعون ألف بيت، في كل بيت سبعون ألف أسود ، في جوف كل أسود سبعون ألف جرة سم لا بد لأهل النار أن يمروا عليها.
