Ibn Abbas Commentary

(And when they) the leaders and the followers (wrangle in the Fire, the weak) the followers (say unto those who were proud) too proud to accept faith, i.e. the leaders: (Lo! we were a following unto you) we followed your religion in the life of the world: (will ye therefore rid us of a portion of the Fire) will therefore bear for us some of the punishment of the Fire?
