Notes

[10] (V.21:100) Ibn Mas‘ûd رضي الله عنه recited this Verse and then said: "When those (who are destined to remain in the Hell-fire forever) will be thrown in the Hell-fire, each of them will be put in a separate Tabût (box) of Fire, so that he will not see anyone punished in the Hell fire except himself." Then Ibn Mas‘ûd recited this Verse (21:100). [Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Tabari and Qurtubî].

Therein wailing is their portion, and therein they hear not.

There, sobbing will be their lot, nor will they there hear (aught else).

For them therein shall be groaning and therein they shall not hear.

Therein there will be groaning for them, and therein they will not hear (anything).
