Commentary
Those who disbelieve in themselves and lead others to disbelief: Allah will multiply their punishment as they multiplied their disbelief. It is said regarding the increase of their torment that there are creatures like scorpions and creatures like mules. One of them stings, and its owner finds its sting forty years later. It is said that they will emerge from the Fire to the extreme cold, and they will rush back to the Fire because of what they used to corrupt by being corruptors of the people by turning them away from the path of Allah.
