Tafsir of 27:72

(17:51) يَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ بِالْعَذَابِ وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمُحِيطَةٌ بِالْكَفِرِينَ (They ask you to hasten on the torment. And verily, Hell, of a surety, will encompass the disbelievers) (29:54). عَسَى أَن يَكُونَ رَدِفَ لَكُم (may be close behind you.) means, it is being hastened for you. This was reported from Mujahid.…
