Surah As Saffat Tafseer

Then on the top of that they will be boiling Hamim.

Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said,

"This means they will be given boiling Hamim to drink after they have eaten from Zaqqum."

According to another report, he said that this means a mixture made from boiling water.

Someone else said that it means boiling water will be mixed with pus and offensive discharges that leak from their private parts and eyes.

Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Sa`id bin Jubayr said,

"When the people of Hell get hungry, they will ask for food from the tree of Zaqqum. They will eat from it, then the skin of their faces will fall off, If someone were to pass by, he would recognize them from their faces. Then thirst will be sent upon them, so they will ask to be given something to drink, and they will be given water like boiling oil that has been heated to the ultimate degree. When it is brought near to their mouths, the flesh of their faces from which the skin has fallen off will be baked by its heat, and whatever is in their stomachs will melt. They will walk with their guts falling out and with their skin falling off, then they will be beaten with hooked rods of iron. Then every part of their bodies will burst into loud lamentations.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَاِلَى الْجَحِيمِ
