إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا۟ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَـٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا۟ فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ ٱلْحَرِيقِ ﴿10﴾

Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali

Verily, those who put into trial the believing men and believing women (by torturing them and burning them), and then do not turn in repentance (to Allâh), then they will have the torment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the burning Fire.

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

The meaning of (Ayah10){ اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ فَتَنُوا الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ …: ’’فِتْنَةٌ ‘‘} is to put gold into fire in order to test the genuine from the counterfeit. Then this word also began to be used in the sense of burning, tormenting, punishing, and attempting to turn someone away from the truth. By {’’ اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ فَتَنُوْا ‘‘} is meant the Companions of the Ditch (Ashab al-Ukhdud) as well, who threw the believers into trenches of fire, and also all those oppressors among the disbelievers of Quraysh and those who came after them, who tried in various ways to turn the believers away from faith by inflicting different kinds of torment. {’’ فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَ لَهُمْ عَذَابُ الْحَرِيْقِ ‘‘} In Hell there are many kinds of punishment, the most severe of which is burning, so this is mentioned specifically; in addition, for those who burned the believers, the punishment of burning is most fitting. {’’ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوْبُوْا ‘‘} (then did not repent) See the generosity of Allah: even for those who burned the believers, the punishment of Hell is only mentioned if they die without repenting, because repentance wipes out all previous sins. This also encourages repentance.

Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence.

10. Surely those who persecuted believing men and believing women and then did not repent, for them is the punishment of Hell, and for them is the punishment of burning [6].

[6] Although the hadiths do not explicitly mention the fate of the Companions of the Trench, the commentators write that the very fire used to burn others went out of the control of those who kindled it, reached their homes, and reduced them to ashes. It is also possible that the phrase: ﴿وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ الْحَرِيْقِ﴾ is mentioned as a description of the torment of Hell itself. Moreover, this verse does not relate only to the Companions of the Trench, but is general, and in it the disbelievers of Makkah are warned that whoever inflicts harm upon believing men and women solely because they believe in one Allah, their end will be the same.
