The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
18. 1. That is, in the world he turned his back on the truth and turned away, and he accumulated wealth and kept it stored in treasures, neither spending it in the way of Allah nor giving zakat from it. Allah Almighty will grant Hell the power of speech, and Hell itself will call out to such people in spoken words. Some say that the callers will actually be angels, but it has been attributed to Hell. Some say that no one will call out; this has only been said as a metaphor. The meaning is that the abode of the mentioned individuals will be Hell.
