Context in Al-Mulk (Ayah 11)
Fa'tarafu bi dhanbihim—they confess sin—then suhqan li ashab al-sa'ir: away with companions of the Blaze. Classical tafsir treats fa'taraf as courtroom admission after denial in life; suhq expresses divine disavowal and distance from mercy.
This passage in chapter 67's rhythm alternates warning and hope so believers neither despair nor grow complacent.
