Commentary

Then he increased in its horror by informing that he is worthy to be asked about and to be referred to the world by it - if it is possible - the humps of camels. He said: "And what can make you know?" meaning he made you aware of it, even if you strive in that. "What is Sijjin?" meaning that it is in a place that the minds cannot comprehend its description, and yet it is in the lowest of the low. The distant ones from the devils and other wrongdoers witness it. The dead among them ascend to the heavens, and its doors close before him, and the wind causes him to fall, and the devils rejoice over him. And all that he said in it: "And what can make you know?" he has made him aware of it, unlike "And what will make you know?".
