إِذَا رَأَتْهُم

When it sees them,

means, when Hell sees them,

مِّن مَّكَانٍ بَعِيدٍ

from a far place,

means from the place of gathering (on the Day of Resurrection),

سَمِعُوا لَهَا تَغَيُّظًا وَزَفِيرًا



they will hear its raging and its roaring.

means, (it will make those sounds) out of hatred towards them.

This is like the Ayah,

إِذَا أُلْقُواْ فِيهَا سَمِعُواْ لَهَا شَهِيقًا وَهِىَ تَفُورُ تَكَادُ تَمَيَّزُ مِنَ الغَيْظِ

When they are cast therein, they will hear the (terrible) drawing in of its breath as it blazes forth. It almost bursts up with fury. (67;7-8),

which means that parts of it almost separate from other parts because of its intense hatred towards those who disbelieved in Allah.

Imam Abu Jafar bin Jarir narrated that Ibn Abbas said;

"A man will be dragged towards Hell, which will be expanding and contracting, and Ar-Rahman will say to it;`What is the matter with you!'

It will say;`He is seeking refuge from me.'

So Allah will say, `Let My servant go.'

Another man will be dragged towards Hell and he will say, `O Lord, I never expected this from You.'

Allah will say, `What did you expect!'

The man will say, `I expected that Your mercy would be great enough to include me.'

So Allah will say, `Let My servant go.'

Another man will be dragged towards Hell, and Hell will bray at him like a donkey braying at barley. Then it will give a moan that will instill fear in everyone."

Its chain of narrators is Sahih.

سَمِعُوا لَهَا تَغَيُّظًا وَزَفِيرًا

they will hear its raging and its roaring.

Abdur-Razzaq recorded that Ubayd bin Umayr said;

"Hell will utter a moan such that there will be no angel who is close to Allah and no Prophet sent to mankind, but he will fall on his face, shaking all over. Even Ibrahim, peace be upon him, will fall to his knees and say;`O Lord, I do not ask You for salvation this Day except for myself."

No sooner do they come within the range of its sight than they hear its roaring under the influence of rage, heaving sighs of woe for the evil that shall befall them
