Transliteration:( Wa iz yatahaaajjoona fin Naari fa-yaqoolud du'afaaa'u lillazeenas takbarooo innaa kunnaa lakum taba'an fahal antum mughnoona annaa naseebam minan Naar )
125. The Pharaoh and his people, or all the infidels. This tells us that these types of disputes are a specific part of the infidels. Although sinful believers would be sent into Hell, they will not be mocking one another - if Allah wills.
126 .We became infidels because of you therefore do something for us today. T nonsensical prattle will take place after they will become totally disheartened from evey corner.
47. And, when they will dispute in the Fire, the weak will say to those who were arrogant: “Verily, we followed you, can you then take from us some portion of the Fire” 48. Those who were arrogant will say: “We are all (together) in this (Fire)! Verily, Allah has judged between (His) servants!” 49. And those in the Fire will say to the keepers (angels) of Hell: “Call upon your Lord to lighten for us the torment for a day!” 50. They will say: “Did there not come to you, your Messengers with (clear) evidences” They will say: “Yes.” They will reply: “Then call (as you like)! And the invocation of the disbelievers is nothing but in vain!”
Allah tells us how the people of Hell will dispute and argue with one another, and Fir`awn and his people will be among them. The weak, who were the followers, will say to those who were arrogant, who were the leaders and masters:
(Verily, we followed you,) meaning, `we obeyed you and heeded your call to disbelief and misguidance in the world, ‘
(can you then take from us some portion of the Fire) means, `can you carry a part of our burden for us’
(Those who were arrogant will say: “We are all (together) in this (Fire)!…”) meaning, `we will not bear any part of your burden for you; our own punishment is enough for us to bear.’
(Verily, Allah has judged (His) servants!) means, `He has shared out the punishment among us according to what each of us deserves’. This is like the Ayah:
(He will say: “For each one there is double (torment), but you know not.”) (7:38)
(And those in the Fire will say to the keepers (angels) of Hell: “Call upon your Lord to lighten for us the torment for a day!”) They know that Allah will not answer them and will not listen to their prayer, because He said,
(Remain you in it with ignominy! And speak you not to Me!) (23:108), so they will ask the keepers of Hell, who are like jailers watching over the people of Hell, to pray to Allah to lessen the Fire for them if only for one day. But the keepers of Hell will refuse, saying to them,
(Did there not come to you, your Messengers with (clear) evidences) meaning, was not proof established in the world on the lips of the Messengers
(They will say: “Yes.” They will reply: “Then call (as you like)!…”) means, you are on your own. We will not pray for you or listen to you; we do not want you to be saved and we have nothing to do with you. Moreover, we tell you that it is all the same whether you offer supplication or not, because Allah will not respond and He will not lighten the torment for you.’ They will say:
(And the invocation of the disbelievers is nothing but in vain!) meaning, it will not be accepted or responded to.
(40:47) Just imagine when they will remonstrate with one another in Hell. The weak ones will say to those who waxed proud: “We were your followers. Will you, then, lighten for us a part of our suffering of the Fire?”[64]
64. This they will not say in any hope that their previous guides or rulers or leaders would actually be able to save them from the torment, or would have it reduced. At that time they will have fully realized that those people could not avail them anything there. But they will say this in order to humiliate them, as if to say: In the world you ruled over us with great show of power and authority, now save us also from this disaster which has befallen us only because of you.
