* تفسير Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs

{ فَكَيْفَ تَتَّقُونَ إِن كَفَرْتُمْ يَوْماً يَجْعَلُ ٱلْوِلْدَانَ شِيباً }

(Then how) will you ward off disbelief, idolatry and indecencies, O people of Mecca (if ye disbelieve) in the life of the world, (will ye protect yourselves upon the day) the Day of Judgement (which will turn children grey) when they hear Allah say to Adam: “O Adam! Send a group from your progeny to the Fire”. Adam will say: “O Lord! How many?” Allah will say: “From every one thousand, send 999 to the Fire and one person to the Garden”,
