Ibn Abbas Commentary

(Lo! we have put on their necks) and hands (carcans) of iron (reaching unto the chins, so that they are made stiff necked) it is also said that this means: We pulled their hands to their chins when they were about to stone the Prophet (pbuh) while he was praying. Therefore, they are chained and prevented from all good.

Indeed We have put fetters around their necks to bind to them their hands because ghull is a fetter that shackles the hands to the neck such that they the hands are bound up to the chins adhqān is the plural of dhaqan which is where the two sides of the beard meet so that their heads are upturned they are unable to lower them this statement is figurative and is meant to indicate their inability to yield to faith or to lower their heads to it.
