Surah Ghafir Tafseer

قَالَ الَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُوا إِنَّا كُلٌّ فِيهَا

Those who were arrogant will say:"We are all (together) in this (Fire)!..."

meaning, `we will not bear any part of your burden for you; our own punishment is enough for us to bear.'

إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ حَكَمَ بَيْنَ الْعِبَادِ

Verily, Allah has judged (His) servants!

means, `He has shared out the punishment among us according to what each of us deserves'.

This is like the Ayah:

قَالَ لِكُلٍّ ضِعْفٌ وَلَـكِن لاَّ تَعْلَمُونَ

He will say:"For each one there is double (torment), but you know not." (7:38)

وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ فِي النَّارِ لِخَزَنَةِ جَهَنَّمَ ادْعُوا رَبَّكُمْ يُخَفِّفْ عَنَّا يَوْمًا مِّنَ الْعَذَابِ
