﴿For the disbelievers﴾ meaning: those firmly established in this description, by which it means: if they have anything in the Hereafter, it is the punishment. And the reading of Nafi and Ibn Amer with the lightening of the hamzah [is more] astonishing, meaning he was driven [to speak] and his lips moved with it because it is said: 'sala yas'al' like 'khafa yakhaf' in the hamzated form. It is possible that it is from 'sa'ala yas'al.' Al-Baghawi said: This is because the people of Mecca, when the Prophet ﷺ warned them of the punishment, said: 'Who is of this punishment? Ask about it,' so it was revealed.

And when he informed of the inevitability of its occurrence, he explained it by saying: ﴿There is no﴾ meaning: in no way or means ﴿to avert﴾ beginning ﴿from Allah﴾ [Al-Ma'arij: 3] meaning the Most High King, to whom there is no equal, so there is no command for anyone alongside Him. And if there is no one to avert it from Him, there will be no one to avert it from others, and the promise of it has preceded, and wisdom has indicated it, so its occurrence has become inevitable and its return has been prevented.
