Commentary
Except at the time when that drink is hot, meaning hot water that scorches the faces. Its heat has ended. And at the time when that drink is with its heat, or cold, it is 'ghassaq', meaning the juice of the people of the Fire, made of pus and cold, foul discharge. So the exception is distributed: the hot drink from the drink and the ghassaq from the cold. The hot drink is theirs in the state of the blazing Fire, and the ghassaq is in the state of the freezing cold.
