[2185] This and the next three passages generally deal with not abiding by the command to mobilize when called upon. The depravity surrounding such an act of defiance is varyingly highlighted through the use of a defamatory label of the same root kh-l-f: al-mukhallafūna (the stay-backers, lit. the ones made to stay back), al-khālifūna (the fall-behinders) and al-khawālif (the ˹incapacitated˺ stayers, which is repeated twice) (cf. Ibn ʿAṭiyyah).
[2186] Abū Hurayrah (ﷺ) narrated that the Messenger (ﷺ) said: “This fire of yours, which the son of Adam inflames, is ˹only˺ one part of seventy parts of the heat of Hell. They ˹the Companions˺ said: “By Allah it ˹the worldly fire˺ is sufficient ˹as punishment˺, Messenger of Allah!” He said: “It ˹Hell˺ has been made severer that this one sixty nine times over. Each of them is equal to the worldly fire” (al-Bukhārī: 3265, Muslim: 2849).
