Tafsir
(And when it is said unto him: Be careful of your duty to Allah) regarding what you are doing, (pride taketh him to sin) he takes offence because of his pride. (Hell will settle his account) his destination will be hell, (an evil resting place). This verse was revealed about al-Akhnas Ibn Shurayq who was both eloquent and good looking and the Prophet (pbuh) used to like his speech. This person used to say to him that he loved him and that he was entirely with him in secret and in the open, and used to give his oath to this effect. But he was a hypocrite and it is alleged that he burned someone's crops and killed a donkey belonging to others.

And when it is said to him ‘Fear God’ in your actions he is seized by vainglory pride and rage in his sin the one he was commanded to avoid committing. So Hell shall be enough it suffices for him — how evil a cradling a resting place it is!
