Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

How the Shaytan threw some Falsehood into the Words of the Messengers, and how Allah abolishedAt this point many of the scholars of Tafsir mentioned the story of the Gharaniq and how many of those who had migrated to Ethiopia came back when they thought that the idolators of the Quraysh had become Muslims, but these reports all come through Mursal chains of narration and I do not think that any of them may be regarded as Sahih. And Allah knows best.
