And when the torment is for what comes after it from punishment, he said, magnifying the rank of its punishment in severity and horror by using the tool of delay: "Then the Hellfire". This means the great fire that overwhelms those who seek to defend themselves and repels those who see it, for it is at the utmost height of intensity, blazing, fury, and severity. "Burn him" means they should greatly engage in burning him in it, and they should repeat it for his immersion in the fire, like a sacrificial sheep being burned again and again. They do not burn him at the beginning of his affair except in it, for he was relentless in his effort to burn the hearts of the sincere with the utmost he could from words and otherwise. He was arrogant towards the weak, so it was appropriate for him to be burned by the greatest of fires. He also expressed it using the tool of delay to indicate the high rank of its entrance, saying, announcing the lack of escape: "Then in a chain" [Al-Haaqqa: 32], meaning a very great one, not one that is less than it.
