Al-Jalalayn Commentary

Those who consume the property of orphans unjustly without any right are only consuming the whole of it as fire in their bellies because that is where such action leads and they shall be exposed to read active yaslawna or passive yuslawna that is they shall enter a blaze an intense fire in which they shall burn.

(Lo! Those who devour the wealth of orphans wrongfully) extortionately, (they do but swallow fire into their bellies) i.e. that which is unlawful; it is also said that this means: Allah will place fire in their bellies on the Day of Judgement (and they will be exposed to burning flame) a blazing fire in the Hereafter. This verse was revealed about Hanzalah Ibn Shamardal.
