85. That I will surely fill Hell with you [75] and with all those who follow you.

[75] “You” refers to Iblis, his progeny, and his entire army who are engaged in involving the children of Adam in various kinds of misguidance. They will not only be punished for their own sins, but also for a proportional share of the sins of those among the children of Adam who followed them and continued to commit sins. At this point, Allah Almighty narrated the story of Adam and Iblis while addressing the disbelievers of Makkah so that they may reflect on what happened to Iblis for disobeying Allah, and now that they are disobeying Allah’s Messenger, they too should expect a similar outcome for themselves.
