Transliteration:( Yatoofoona bainahaa wa baina hameemim aan )
"They will go round between it and the fierce boiling [40] water."
✅ [40] The inmates of Hell will be subdued into punishment. They will be screaming for food, at which they will be fed with cactus, a food that will pierce their throats. Then, they will cry for water, and in response, they will be taken to a place with a fountain of boiling water. From this verse, we learn that the inhabitants of Hell will not be given food, water, or rest — instead, they will be forced to move between Hellfire and boiling water, increasing their torment.
