إِنَّهُۥ مَن يَأْتِ رَبَّهُۥ مُجْرِمًا فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ جَهَنَّمَ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ ﴿74﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Verily whoever comes to his Lord as a Mujrim (criminal, polytheist, sinner, disbeliever in the Oneness of Allâh and His Messengers), then surely, for him is Hell, wherein he will neither die nor live.

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi
Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
(Ayah 74){لَا يَمُوْتُ فِيْهَا وَ لَا يَحْيٰى :} The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: [أَمَّا أَهْلُ النَّارِ الَّذِيْنَ هُمْ أَهْلُهَا، فَإِنَّهُمْ لاَ يَمُوْتُوْنَ فِيْهَا وَلاَ يَحْيَوْنَ، وَلٰكِنْ نَاسٌ مِنْكُمْ أَصَابَتْهُمُ النَّارُ بِذُنُوْبِهِمْ فَأَمَاتَهُمُ اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰی إِمَاتَةً، حَتّٰی إِذَا كَانُوْا فَحْمًا أُذِنَ بِالشَّفَاعَةِ، فَجِيْئَ بِهِمْ ضَبَائِرَ ضَبَائِرَ، فَبُثُّوْا عَلَی أَنْهَارِ الْجَنَّةِ، ثُمَّ قِيْلَ ! يَا أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ ! أَفِيْضُوْا عَلَيْهِمْ، فَيَنْبُتُوْنَ نَبَاتَ الْحِبَّةِ تَكُوْنُ فِيْ حَمِيْلِ السَّيْلِ ] [ مسلم، الإیمان، باب إثبات الشفاعۃ و إخراج الموحدین من النار : ۱۸۵، عن أبي سعید الخدري رضی اللہ عنہ ] "The people of the Fire, who are to remain therein, will neither die in it nor live, but there will be some people whom the Fire will afflict due to their sins, so Allah will cause them to die a kind of death. When they become like charcoal, permission for intercession will be granted. Then they will be brought in heaps and scattered on the banks of the rivers of Paradise. It will be said: O people of Paradise! Pour water over them, so they will sprout forth just as seeds sprout in the silt brought by a flood." For the explanation of "neither will he die nor live," see Surah Fatir (36), Ibrahim (15–17), Nisa (56), A'la (11–13), and Zukhruf (77).
