Commentary

Gather them. This is the speech of Allah to the angels, or the speech of some of them with each other. And their companions and associates from the Prophet, blessings and peace be upon him: they are their peers and counterparts among the sinners: the people of fornication with the people of fornication, and the people of theft with the people of theft. It was said: their counterparts are from the devils. It was said: their women who are upon their religion. So guide them and make them aware of the path to the Fire until they enter it. This is mockery of them and reproach for their inability to support one another after they were in opposition to that in the worldly life, supporting and aiding each other. Rather, today they are submissive, having surrendered one to another, and they have abandoned each other out of inability. So all of them are submissive, not victorious. And it has been recited: do not support one another and do not aid one another, with the merging.
