They Ask About the Criminals
فِي جَنَّـٰتࣲ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ٤٠
In gardens they will ask one another.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
In gardens, asking one another about the criminals.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, those on the right discuss the state of the criminals; though the question is for reproach, it may also be to seek whether intercession is possible according to their crimes.
Reflect
Pray for someone instead of condemning their fault.
