Commentary
Yuhmaa – (will
be ignited), this word is from ham-yun, which means “sharpening of
the fire rapidly”. The aim from the word yuhmaa is that “the
fire of Hell will be sharpened on the hoarded wealth”.
Tukwaa – (will
be branded), the origin of this word is kay-yun, which means
“making a mark on the body by a hot iron piece”. That is to say; to heat up
anything so much that it becomes red, then put it on the body, by which a
burning mark appears on the body.
Summary of this verse is “The
Saying of God’s Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him),
which is often repeated in the Sermon of Friday i.e. ‘Al-kanzu
kay-yum-minan-Naar. (It aims that the treasure will be just like an iron
piece, which will be heated up to the point of redness and then body of the
hoarder will be branded with it).
It means that in this world,
everyone has made it (hoarding the wealth) his biggest occupation, and being
entangled in its love, some people are seen enjoying themselves apparently,
although, in fact, they suffer, but against their wealth, they slight their
sufferings. Verily, if you consider the fact, you will observe that in the
world too, the riches and the wealth causes worries, even that sometimes,
hunger, thirst and sleep etc. disappear in its worry, even that, one has no
hope of life. Moreover, after death, this wealth will be useless save giving
pain.
To experience, a man should
keep a penny on his palm after making it red on the fire. That penny will brand
on his palm. After that he must meditate: The entire gold and silver etc. which
he has hoarded; will be heated in the fire of the Hell, not in the ordinary
fire of this world, then it will be placed on the body of the rich, and it will
not be removed until it becomes cold. When it will become cold then, again it
be heated and placed on the body. And this practice will be continued. What
will he feel at that time?
Mufasseriin (the commentators) have explained
that if you say to any miser for giving some money for a good work, then at
first, he will be angry. If you say again and again, then he will turn away and
evade. Therefore, these three body parts will be branded i.e. forehead, flank
and back. If you desire to be saved from the torment, then you should not hoard
but spend in the Way of God Almighty.
