“We shall brand him on the snout.”
Then Allah Most High threatened anyone who exhibited the conduct He described: Allah will brand him on his snout (1) amid the punishment and subject him to a manifest torment—one that will leave a brand and mark where it will be most grievous to him: upon his face.
(1) Manuscript B reads: “on the snout.”
﴿سَنَسِمُهُ عَلَى الْخُرْطُومِ﴾ .
ثم توعد تعالى من جرى منه ما وصف الله، بأن الله سيسمه على خرطومه (١) في العذاب، وليعذبه عذابًا ظاهرًا، يكون عليه سمة وعلامة، في أشق الأشياء عليه، وهو وجهه.
(١) في ب: على الخرطوم.
