It is a metaphor for the severity of its horror, as one says: he is one of the men, meaning there is none like him. Or what is meant by it is one of seven, which is the utmost in greatness, meaning the degrees of the Fire. It is Jahannam, then Ladhah, then Al-Hatamah, then As-Sa'ir, then Sakar, then Al-Jahim, then Al-Hawiyah. It is one of them in its immense expanses and severe pain and harm, while it is.
