سُوۡرَةُ النّبَإِ

إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتۡ مِرۡصَادً۬ا (٢١) لِّلطَّـٰغِينَ مَـَٔابً۬ا (٢٢) لَّـٰبِثِينَ فِيہَآ أَحۡقَابً۬ا (٢٣) لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيہَا بَرۡدً۬ا وَلَا شَرَابًا (٢٤) إِلَّا حَمِيمً۬ا وَغَسَّاقً۬ا (٢٥) جَزَآءً۬ وِفَاقًا (٢٦) إِنَّہُمۡ ڪَانُواْ لَا يَرۡجُونَ حِسَابً۬ا (٢٧) وَكَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا كِذَّابً۬ا (٢٨) وَكُلَّ شَىۡءٍ أَحۡصَيۡنَـٰهُ ڪِتَـٰبً۬ا (٢٩) فَذُوقُواْ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمۡ إِلَّا عَذَابًا (٣٠)




In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful


An-Naba

Lo! hell lurketh in ambush, (21) A home for the rebellious. (22) They will abide therein for ages. (23) Therein taste they neither coolness nor (any) drink (24) Save boiling water and a paralysing cold: (25) Reward proportioned (to their evil deeds). (26) For lo! they looked not for a reckoning; (27) They called Our revelations false with strong denial. (28) Everything have We recorded in a Book. (29) So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment. (30)
78:21-30


Tafsir Ibn Kathir


بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

[إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَاداً ]


(Truly, Hell is a place of ambush) meaning, it is waiting in preparation.


[لِلطَّـغِينَ]


(for the Taghun) These are the disobedient rejectors who oppose the Messengers.


[مَـَاباً]


(A dwelling place) meaning, a place of return, final destination, final outcome, and residence. Allah said,


[لَّـبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحْقَاباً ]


(They will abide therein Ahqab.) meaning, they will remain in it for Ahqab, which is the plural of Huqb. Huqb means a period of time. Khalid bin Ma`dan said, "This Ayah, and the Ayah,


[إِلاَّ مَا شَآءَ رَبُّكَ]


except your Lord wills. )11:107( both refer to the people of Tawhل0d. Ibn Jar0r recorded this statement. Ibn Jar0r also recorded from Sa0lim that he heard Al-Hلasan being asked about Alla0h s statement,


[لَّـبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحْقَاباً ]


(They will abide therein Ahqab) "In reference to Ahqab, it has no specific amount of time other than its general meaning of eternity in the Hellfire. However, they have mentioned that the Huqb is seventy years, and every day of it is like one thousand years according to your reckoning (in this life).'' Sa`id reported from Qatadah that he said, "Allah says,


[لَّـبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحْقَاباً ]


(They will abide therein Ahqab.) (78:23) And it is that which has no end to it. Whenever one era comes to an end, a new era follows it. It has been mentioned to us that the Huqb is eighty years.'' Ar-Rabi` bin Anas said,


[لَّـبِثِينَ فِيهَآ أَحْقَاباً ]


(They will abide therein Ahqab) "No one knows how much time this Ahqab is, except for Allah, the Mighty and Sublime. It has been mentioned to us that one Huqb is eighty years, and the year is three hundred and sixty days, and each day is equivalent to one thousand years according to your reckoning (in this life).'' Ibn Jarir has recorded both of these statements. Allah's statement:


[لاَّ يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْداً وَلاَ شَرَاباً ]


(Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink.) meaning, they will not find any coolness in Hell for their hearts, nor any good drink for them to partake of. Thus, Allah says,


[إِلاَّ حَمِيماً وَغَسَّاقاً ]


(Except Hamim, and Ghassaq) Abu Al-`Aliyah said, "The Hamim has been made an exception to the coolness, and Ghassaq is the exception to the drink.'' This has also been said by Ar-Rabi` bin Anas. In reference to the Hamim, it is the heat that has reached its maximum temperature and point of boiling. The Ghassaq is gathered from the pus, sweat, tears, and wounds of the people of Hellfire. It is unbearably cold with an intolerable stench. May Allah save us from that by His beneficence and grace. Then He continues,


[جَزَآءً وِفَـقاً ]


(An exact recompense.) meaning, that which will happen to them of this punishment is in accordance with their wicked deeds, which they were doing in this life. Mujahid, Qatadah, and others have said this. Then Allah said,


[إِنَّهُمْ كَانُواْ لاَ يَرْجُونَ حِسَاباً ]


(For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning.) (78:27) meaning, they did not believe that there would be an abode in which they would be taken to account.


[وَكَذَّبُواْ بِـَايَـتِنَا كِذَّاباً ]


(But they denied Our Ayat Kidhdhaba.) meaning, they used to deny the evidences of Allah and His proofs for His creation, which He revealed to His Messengers. So they met these proofs with rejection and obstinance. His statement,


[كِذَّاباً]


(Kidhdhaba) it means rejection, and it is considered a verbal noun that does not come from a verb. Allah said;


[وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَـهُ كِتَـباً ]


(And all things We have recorded in a Book.) meaning, `surely We know the deeds of all of the creatures, and We have written these deeds for them. We will reward them based upon this.' If their deeds were good then their reward will be good, and if their deeds were evil their reward will be evil. Allah then says,


[فَذُوقُواْ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمْ إِلاَّ عَذَاباً ]


(So taste you. No increase shall We give you, except in torment.) This means that it will be said to the people of the Hellfire, "Taste that which you were in. We will never increase you in anything except torment according to its type (of sin), and something else similar to it.'' Qatadah reported from Abu Ayyub Al-Azdi, who reported from `Abdullah bin `Amr that he said, "Allah did not reveal any Ayah against the people of the Hellfire worse than this Ayah,


[فَذُوقُواْ فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمْ إِلاَّ عَذَاباً ]


(So taste you. No increase shall We give you, except in torment.)'' Then he said, "They will continue increasing in torment forever.''


[إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازاً - حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعْنَـباً - وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَاباً - وَكَأْساً دِهَاقاً - لاَّ يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْواً وَلاَ كِذَباً - جَزَآءً مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَاباً ]
