Ibn Abbas Commentary

(And hell is brought near) with 70,000 registers, with each register 70,000 angels leading it to the place of mustering, and then they reveal them (that day) the Day of Judgement; (on that day man) the disbelieving man; i.e. Ubayy Ibn Khalaf and Umayyah Ibn Khalaf (will remember) will be admonished, (but how will the remembrance (then avail him)) when the time for being admonished has passed?

and Hell on that day is brought near pulled by seventy thousand sets of reins each set of reins pulled by the hands of seventy thousand angels as it groans and seethes in fury; on that day yawma’idhin is a substitution for idhā ‘when’ the response to which is the following man that is to say the disbeliever will remember his prodigal conduct in it but how will remembering avail him now? the interrogative is meant as a denial in other words his remembering that will not be of any use to him.
