Commentary

Then he resumed his saying: "It scorches" meaning it envelops with its intense heat and its scorching wind and its blaze. "The faces of them are the Fire" so it burns them. What do you think about anything other than it? "And they are in it grim" meaning their lips are drawn back from their teeth along with the frowning of the faces and their wrinkling and furrowing. This is the state of one who is filled with inner hatred for what has befallen him from the intensity of suffering and the great hardship in the abode of scowling, just as you see the heads that are roasted. The negation of questioning here does not contradict its affirmation elsewhere because it is in a different context, rather it is in mutual blame, reproach, and disputation. On that day, the stations are long and numerous. The statements and conditions for that reason are varied and abundant. And it will come from Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with both of them, in Surah As-Saffat similar to that.
