Abdullah bin Mas`ud recited it differently, with the meaning

"Their return in the afternoon."

Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him, used to say;

"By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, midday on the Day of Resurrection will not come until the people of Paradise will be in Paradise and the people of Hell will be in Hell."

Then he recited;

The dwellers of Paradise will, on that Day, have the best abode, and have the fairest of places for repose. (25;24)

Allah's saying;

إِنَّهُمْ أَلْفَوْا ابَاءهُمْ ضَالِّينَ

Having drunk the cup of misery they are cast back into the abysm of Hell
