قَالُواْ رَبَّنَا مَن قَدَّمَ لَنَا هَـٰذَا فَزِدۡهُ عَذَابً۬ا ضِعۡفً۬ا فِى ٱلنَّارِ
They will say, "Our Lord, whoever brought this upon us – increase for him double punishment in the Fire."
Allah tells us that His blessed, believing servants will have a good final return in the Hereafter, which means their ultimate destination. Then He explains it further, as He says:
(`Adn Gardens) meaning, eternal gardens (of Paradise),
(whose doors will be opened for them.) means, when they come to them (these gardens), their gates will open for them.
(Therein they will recline;) It was said that this means that they will sit cross-legged on chairs beneath canopies.
(therein they will call for fruits in abundance) means, whatever they ask for, they will find it, and it will be prepared just as they wanted it.
(and drinks;) means, whatever kind of drink they want, the servants will bring it to them,
(With cups, and jugs, and a glass of flowing wine.) (56: 18).
(And beside them will be Qasirat-at-Tarf (chaste females)) means, they restrain their glances from anyone except their husbands, and do not turn to anyone else.
((and) of equal ages.) means, they will all be of the same age. This is the understanding of Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) Mujahid, Sa`id bin Jubayr, Muhammad bin Ka`b and As-Suddi.
(This it is what you are promised for the Day of Reckoning!) means, `this that We have mentioned of the features of Paradise is what He has prepared for His pious servants who will reach it after they have been resurrected from their graves and been saved from the Fire.' Then Allah tells us that Paradise will never come to an end or disappear or cease to be. He says:
(Verily, this is Our provision which will never finish.) This is like the Ayat:
(Whatever is with you, will be exhausted, and whatever is with Allah will remain) (16:96).
(a gift without an end.) (11:108)
(for them is a reward that will never come to an end.) (84:25).
(its provision is eternal and so is its shade; this is the end of those who have Taqwa, and the end (final destination) of the disbelievers is Fire.)(13:35). And there are many similar Ayat.
(55. This is so! And for the Taghin will be an evil final return.) (56. Hell! Where they will enter it, and worst (indeed) is that place to rest!) (57. This is so! Then let them taste it - Hamim and Ghassaq.) (58. And other of similar kind - all together!) (59. This is a troop entering with you (in Hell), no welcome for them! Verily, they shall enter in the Fire!) (60. (The followers will say to those who misled): "Nay, you (too)! No welcome for you! It is you who brought this upon us, so evil is this place to stay in!'') (61. They will say: "Our Lord! Whoever brought this upon us, add to him a double torment in the Fire!'') (62. And they will say: "What is the matter with us that we see not men whom we used to count among the bad ones'') (63. "Did we take them as an object of mockery, or have (our) eyes failed to perceive them'') (64. Verily, that is the very truth -- the mutual dispute of the people of the Fire!)
وَقَالُواْ مَا لَنَا لَا نَرَىٰ رِجَالاً۬ كُنَّا نَعُدُّهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَشۡرَارِ
And they will say, "Why do we not see men whom we used to count among the worst?

Is it [because] we took them in ridicule, or has [our] vision turned away from them?"

(This is a troop entering with you (in Hell), no welcome for them! Verily, they shall enter in the Fire!) Here Allah tells us what the people of Hell will say to one another. This is like the Ayah:
(Every time a new nation enters, it curses its sister nation (that went before)) (7:38), which means, instead of greeting one another, they will curse one another, accuse one another of being liars and reject one another. When a new group arrives, the keepers of Hell will say,
(This is a troop entering with you (in Hell), no welcome for them! Verily, they shall enter in the Fire!) meaning, because they are of the people of Hell.
(Nay, you (too)! No welcome for you!) means, those who are coming in will say,
(Nay, you (too)! No welcome for you! It is you who brought this upon us,) meaning, `you called us to that which led us to this fate.'
(so evil is this place to stay in!) means, evil is this abode and this destination.

(And they will say: "What is the matter with us that we see not men whom we used to count among the bad ones Did we take them as an object of mockery, or have (our) eyes failed to perceive them'') Here Allah tells us that when they are in Hell, the disbelievers will notice that they do not see people who they thought were misguided, while they thought of themselves as believers. They will say, `why do we not see them with us in the Fire' Mujahid said, "This is what Abu Jahl will say; he will say, `what is the matter with me that I do not see Bilal and `Ammar and Suhayb and so-and-so...' This is an example; all the disbelievers are like this, they think that the believers will go to Hell, so when the disbelievers enter Hell, they will wonder why they do not see them there, and they will say,
(What is the matter with us that we see not men whom we used to count among the bad ones Did we take them as an object of mockery,) means, in this world,
(or have (our) eyes failed to perceive them) means, they will try to console themselves with this wishful thinking, so they will say, perhaps they are here in Hell with us, but we have not laid eyes on them.

(And the dwellers of Paradise will call out to the dwellers of the Fire (saying): "We have indeed found true what our Lord had promised us; have you also found true what your Lord promised (warned)'' They shall say: "Yes.''

They will say, `why do we not see them with us in the Fire' Mujahid said, "This is what Abu Jahl will say; he will say, `what is the matter with me that I do not see Bilal and `Ammar and Suhayb and so-and-so...' This is an example; all the disbelievers are like this, they think that the believers will go to Hell, so when the disbelievers enter Hell, they will wonder why they do not see them there, and they will say,
(What is the matter with us that we see not men whom we used to count among the bad ones Did we take them as an object of mockery,) means, in this world,
(or have (our) eyes failed to perceive them) means, they will try to console themselves with this wishful thinking, so they will say, perhaps they are here in Hell with us, but we have not laid eyes on them. Then they will find out that they (the believers) are in the lofty levels of Paradise, as Allah says:
(And the dwellers of Paradise will call out to the dwellers of the Fire (saying): "We have indeed found true what our Lord had promised us; have you also found true what your Lord promised (warned)'' They shall say: "Yes.'' Then a crier will proclaim between them: "The curse of Allah is on the wrongdoers.'') until:
(Enter Paradise, no fear shall be on you, nor shall you grieve.) (7:44-49)
(Verily, that is the very truth -- the mutual dispute of the people of the Fire!) means, `this that We have told you, O Muhammad, about the dispute among the people of Hell and their cursing one another, is true and there is no doubt concerning it.'
(65. Say: "I am only a warner and there is no God (worthy of worship) except Allah the One, the Irresistible,'') (66. "The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, the Almighty, the Oft-Forgiving.'') (67. Say: "That is a great news,'') (68. "From which you turn away!'') (69. "I had no knowledge of the chiefs (angels) on high when they were disputing and discussing.'') (70. "Only this has been revealed to me, that I am a plain warner.'')
إِن يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَىَّ إِلَّآ أَنَّمَآ أَنَا۟ نَذِيرٌ۬ مُّبِينٌ
It has not been revealed to me except that I am a clear warner."
(This is a troop entering with you (in Hell), no welcome for them! Verily, they shall enter in the Fire!) Here Allah tells us what the people of Hell will say to one another. This is like the Ayah:
(Every time a new nation enters, it curses its sister nation (that went before)) (7:38), which means, instead of greeting one another, they will curse one another, accuse one another of being liars and reject one another. When a new group arrives, the keepers of Hell will say,
(This is a troop entering with you (in Hell), no welcome for them! Verily, they shall enter in the Fire!) meaning, because they are of the people of Hell.
(Nay, you (too)! No welcome for you!) means, those who are coming in will say,
(Nay, you (too)! No welcome for you! It is you who brought this upon us,) meaning, `you called us to that which led us to this fate.'
(so evil is this place to stay in!) means, evil is this abode and this destination.
(They will say: "Our Lord! Whoever brought this upon us, add to him a double torment in the Fire!''). This is like the Ayah,
(The last of them will say to the first of them: "Our Lord! These misled us, so give them a double torment of the Fire.'' He will say: "For each one there is double (torment), but you know not.'') (7:38), which means that each of them will be punished as he deserves.
