وَجِایۡٓءَ یَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِجَہَنَّمَ ۬ۙ یَوْمَئِذٍ یَّتَذَکَّرُ الْاِنۡسٰنُ وَ اَنّٰی لَہُ الذِّکْرٰی ﴿ؕ۲۳﴾

And when hell is brought that day – on that day will man reflect, but where is the time now to think?

Tafsir al-Qurtubi                                                                                                                                                                                      تفسیر القرطبی                                                    

قَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، كَيْفَ يُجَاءُ بِهَا قَالَ: (تُؤْتَى بِهَا تُقَادُ بِسَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ زِمَامٍ، يَقُودُ بِكُلِّ زِمَامٍ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ، فَتَشْرُدُ شردة لو تركت لأحرقت أهل الجمع  ثُمَّ تَعْرِضُ لِي جَهَنَّمُ فَتَقُولُ: مَا لِي وَلَكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ حَرَّمَ لَحْمَكَ عَلَيَّ)

فَلَا يَبْقَى أَحَدٌ إِلَّا قَالَ نَفْسِي نَفْسِي! إِلَّا مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَإِنَّهُ يَقُولُ: رَبِّ أُمَّتِي! رَبِّ أُمَّتِي!

Sayyiduna ‘Ali – may Allah be pleased with him – asked, “O Allah’s Messenger, how will hell be brought?”  He replied, “It will be 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.  If I let go, it would burn all the people, and then the hell will speak to me and say, “What business do I have with you, O Muhammad?  Indeed Allah Almighty has forbidden your meat upon me.”

There is be no one but worried about himself (Nafsi, Nafsi) except for Sayyiduna Muhammad – may Allah send peace and blessings upon him – who will be saying “Oh my Lord, my Ummah! Oh my Lord, my Ummah!”

Tafsir al-Jalalain                                                                                                                        تفسیر الجلالین                                                

{وَجِيءَ يَوْمئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّم} تُقَاد بِسَبْعِينَ أَلْف زِمَام كُلّ زِمَام بِأَيْدِي سَبْعِينَ أَلْف مَلَك لَهَا زَفِير وَتَغَيُّظ {يَوْمئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّر الْإِنْسَان} أَيْ الْكَافِر مَا فَرَّطَ فِيهِ {وَأَنَّى لَهُ الذِّكْرَى} أَيْ لَا يَنْفَعهُ تَذَكُّره ذَلِكَ

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, the man, i.e. the disbeliever, will remember, his prodigal conduct in it, but how will remembering avail him [now]? in other words, his remembering that will not be of any use to him.
