Al-Muddaththir 74:31
The Cloaked One · Juz 29 · Page 576
وَمَا جَعَلۡنَآ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَٰٓئِكَةٗۖ وَمَا جَعَلۡنَا عِدَّتَهُمۡ إِلَّا فِتۡنَةٗ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِيَسۡتَيۡقِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَيَزۡدَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِيمَٰنٗا وَلَا يَرۡتَابَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ وَلِيَقُولَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٞ وَٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ مَاذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلٗاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهۡدِي مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَمَا يَعۡلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَۚ وَمَا هِيَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرَىٰ لِلۡبَشَرِ ٣١
And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is disease [i.e., hypocrisy] and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allāh intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allāh send astray whom He wills and guide whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And it [i.e., mention of the Fire] is not but a reminder to humanity.

Commentary on 74:31
我命令只有天使掌管火狱，人类没有能力对付他们，艾布•哲海勒佯称他的族人能袭击这些天使并从火狱中逃出的话语确是谎言，我使掌管火狱的天使数如此，只为考验不信道者，让他们说出曾说过的话语，他们将得到加倍的惩罚。让被赐予《讨拉特》的犹太人和被赐予《引支勒》的基督教徒坚信，《古兰经》的降示只是证实他们的经典，以便当有经之人与穆斯林信仰相一致时更能加深穆斯林的信仰，犹太人、基督徒和信士毫不怀疑，信道的徘徊者和不信道者都会说：“真主以这个奇怪的数字意欲什么呢？”使否认这个数字的人迷误，引导相信它的人，真主使谁迷误，他必迷误，真主引导谁，他必获引导。惟真主知道其军队之众多，艾布•哲海勒轻视和否认地说‘穆罕默德只有十九个助手’！火狱只作提醒人类，以便他们知道清高真主的大能。
