129. 1. That is, in Hell, as is clear from the translation. The second meaning is that just as We have made humans and jinn companions and helpers of one another, similarly We deal with the wrongdoers: We set one wrongdoer over another wrongdoer, so that one wrongdoer destroys and annihilates the other, and We take retribution from one wrongdoer through another wrongdoer.
