16. 1. According to some, this is related to the world, for example, it is said that in the Battle of Badr, the noses of those disbelievers were struck by swords. And some say that this will be a sign of the people of Hell on the Day of Resurrection, that their noses will be branded, or it means the blackening of faces, as the faces of the disbelievers will be blackened on that day. Some say that this state of the disbelievers is possible both in this world and in the Hereafter.
