Transliteration:( Haazaa falyazooqoohu hameemunw wa ghassaaq )
"This is for them (the infidels). Therefore let them taste the boiling water and intensely cold, stinking [107] drink (pus)."
This verse describes the severe torment prepared for the disbelievers in Hell. Their drink will be boiling water, scalding their insides, and also a cold, foul-smelling pus, which is intensely repulsive.
This filthy liquid will flow from the wounds, bodies, and other impure places of the inmates of Hell. It will carry a strong, unbearable stench and be disgusting in taste—yet it will be forced upon them as their food and drink.
Such a terrifying punishment is a result of their arrogance and rejection of truth. May Allah Almighty protect us all from this dreadful fate and grant us steadfastness on the path of faith and righteousness.
The tafsir of Surah Sad verse 57 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Sad ayat 55 which provides the complete commentary from verse 55 through 64.
(38:57) All this (is for them); so let them taste boiling water and pus,[54]
54. Several meanings of the word ghassaq, as used in the original, have been given by the lexicographers: (1) Any moisture that is discharged by the body in the form of pus, blood, or mixture of pus and blood, etc. and this includes tears as well. (2) Something extremely cold. (3) Something stinking and giving out offensive smell. However, the word is generally used in the first meaning only, though the other two meanings also are correct lexically.
