سُوْرَةُ الْحَجِّ
Surah Al-Hajj (22) — Ayah 19
۞ هَـٰذَانِ خَصْمَانِ ٱخْتَصَمُوا۟ فِى رَبِّهِمْ ۖ فَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ قُطِّعَتْ لَهُمْ ثِيَابٌ مِّن نَّارٍ يُصَبُّ مِن فَوْقِ رُءُوسِهِمُ ٱلْحَمِيمُ ﴿19﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
These two opponents (believers and disbelievers) dispute with each other about their Lord: then as for those who disbelieved, garments of fire will be cut out for them, boiling water will be poured down over their heads.

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf
Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
19. 1. ھذان خصمن — these are dual forms. Some have taken this to mean the aforementioned misguided sects, and in contrast, the other group refers to the Muslims. These two dispute concerning their Lord; the Muslims affirm His oneness and His power over resurrection, while the others are involved in various misguidances regarding Allah. In this context, the Muslims and disbelievers who fought in the Battle of Badr are also included, at the beginning of which, on the Muslim side, were Hazrat Hamza, Hazrat Ali, and Hazrat Ubaidah (may Allah be pleased with them), and on the other side, among the disbelievers, were Utbah, Shaibah, and Walid bin Utbah. (Imam Ibn Kathir states that both these meanings are correct and in accordance with the verse.)
