يُصْهَرُ بِهِۦ مَا فِى بُطُونِهِمْ وَٱلْجُلُودُ
44:46.
Important Words:
یصھر (will be melted) is formed from صھر which means, he melted or liquefied fat or a thing; he or it burned; he thoroughly cooked with fire. صھرته الشمس means, the sun affected him severely by its heat (Lane & Aqrab).
Commentary:
The verse purports to say that the flouters and defiers of Divine Laws will suffer both internal and external punishment, i.e. they will lose their peace of mind and will also suffer corporal punishment. The verse also seems to point, on the one hand, to the extreme severity of the punishment of Hell and on the other to its temporary nature. It purports to say that the fire of Hell will burn and melt whatever there would be in the bellies and skins of disbelievers, i.e. it will melt away the inward and outward dross and impurities of the sins committed by them and thus after cleansing and purifying them of their impurities and dross will make them deserving of salvation.
