* تفسير Tafsir al-Jalalayn

{ يَوْمَ نَقُولُ لِجَهَنَّمَ هَلِ ٱمْتَلأَتِ وَتَقُولُ هَلْ مِن مَّزِيدٍ }

on the day yawma is in the accusative because of zallām ‘unjust’ when We will say naqūlu may also be read yaqūlu ‘He will say’ to Hell ‘Are you now full?’ this interrogative is for confirmation of His promise to fill it with mankind and jinn and it will say by way of an interrogative such as a question ‘Are there any more?’ that is to say ‘I Hell only have capacity for what I have been filled with’ in other words ‘I am full!’.
