23. 1 Jahannam will be bound with seventy thousand reins, and with each rein there will be seventy thousand angels pulling it (Sahih Muslim). It will be made to stand on the left side of the Throne, and upon seeing it, all the close ones and prophets will fall to their knees and cry out, "O Lord, myself, myself." (Fath al-Qadeer)

23. 2 That is, upon witnessing this terrifying scene, man's eyes will be opened and he will regret his disbelief and sins, but on that day, regret and admonition will be of no benefit.
