92. 56:92

    وَأَمَّا إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ الضَّالِّينَ

    But if he was of the deniers [who were] astray

93. 56:93

    فَنُزُلٌ مِنْ حَمِيمٍ

    Then [for him is] accommodation of scalding water

94. 56:94

    وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ

    And burning in Hellfire

95. 56:95

    إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ الْيَقِينِ
