* Boiling water people of the hell are forced to drink. In verse 57 of Sura Sad ([They will be told, ‘This is scalding water and pus; let them taste it) and verse 4 of Sura Yunus (As for the faithless, they shall have boiling water for drink, and a painful punishment because of what they used to defy), the word is used in this sense. Fakhr al-Razi cites a view in his Mafatih al-ghayb to the effect that “hamim” in these verses means melted copper. | |||
* An intimate or close friend. In verse 101 of Sura al-Shuʿaraʾ (nor do we have any sympathetic friend) and verse 10 of Sura al-Maʿarij (and no friend will inquire about [the welfare of his] friend), the word is used in this sense. Quranic exegetes interpret “hamim” in these verses as intimate, a compassionate kind close one, a close person who tries to solve one’s problems, and a supportive close friend. | |||
