as did al-Kisa’i and Abu Bakr in his transmission from Asim: they recited the words salāsila (“chains”) and qawārīra (“glass vessels”) with a final alif when pausing and with tanwīn (nunation) in connected recitation, in every occurrence. Hamzah and Yaqub recited them without an alif when pausing and without tanwīn in connected recitation. Ibn Kathir recited the first occurrence of qawārīra with an alif when pausing and with tanwīn in connected recitation, while reciting salāsila and the second occurrence of qawārīra without an alif or tanwīn. Abu Amr, Ibn Amir, and Hafs recited salāsila and the first occurrence of qawārīra with an alif when pausing, in accordance with the written text, but without tanwīn in connected recitation; they recited the second occurrence of qawārīra without an alif or tanwīn.

His words, “and shackles,” mean: shackles upon their hands, binding them to their necks; and “a blazing Fire” means a fiercely burning fire.
