And His word: إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِمْ مُؤْصَدَةٌ — Allah, exalted be His remembrance, says: the Ḥuṭama, whose attributes have just been described, is closed over them — that is to say: over these mockers and slanderers — مُؤْصَدَةٌ : that is to say: hermetically sealed shut. The word is written both with hamza and without hamza; both readings have been transmitted and are recited.
What we have said concerning this is also the opinion of the scholars of exegesis.

Ibn Ḥumayd related to us, saying: Yaʿqūb related to us, on the authority of Jaʿfar, on the authority of Saʿīd, who said: "In the Fire there is a man in a ravine of its ravines, who for the span of a thousand years cries out: O Most Merciful, O Most Merciful! Then the Lord of Majesty says to Jibrīl: Bring My servant out of the Fire. Jibrīl comes to the Fire, but finds it hermetically sealed shut. He returns and says: O my Lord, إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِمْ مُؤْصَدَةٌ . Then He says: O Jibrīl, open it, and bring My servant out of the Fire. He opens it, and the man is brought out like a shadow, and he is laid down at the bank of Paradise, until Allah causes hair, flesh, and blood to grow upon him."
