Mishary Rashid Alafasy

Reflection — Ibn Kathir

The Angel will bear Witness; Allah commands that the Disbeliever be thrown into the Fire

Allah the Exalted states that the scribe angel, who is entrusted with recording the deeds of mankind, will testify against him or her about the deeds he or she did on the Day of Resurrection. He will say,

هَـذَا مَا لَدَىَّ عَتِيدٌ

Reflection — Maarif ul Quran

أَلْقِيَا فِي جَهَنَّمَ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ‌ عَنِيدٍ (Cast, both of you [ 0 angels,] into Jahannam every stubborn disbeliever.... 50:24]. The verb alqiya is grammatically dual in number, that is, addressed to two persons. It appears that Allah will say these words to the Sa'iq and Shahid angels; Allah will order them to throw him in the fire of Hell. Some other scholars explain it differently (Ibn Kathir).
