Commentary

﴿Like molten metal﴾ means: the thin tar and what has melted from sulfur or iron or [UNTRANSLATED-LATIN:durdī]. Ahmad and al-Tirmidhi narrated - and he said: (p-44) we do not know it except from the hadith of Rishdīn - and Ibn Hibban in his Sahih and al-Hakim from another source - and al-Hakim said: the chain is authentic - from Abu Sa'id, may Allah be pleased with him, "about the Prophet ﷺ in His saying: ﴿Like molten metal﴾ he said: 'Like the oil when it approaches his face, the fur of his face falls into it.'" "It boils" means: the tree - according to the reading of the majority in the feminine form - and the food according to the reading of Ibn Kathir and Hafs from Asim and Ruways from Ya'qub in the masculine form. And the pronoun does not return to molten metal because it is being compared to it. ﴿In the bellies﴾ means: from the intensity of the heat.
