A Scalding Mixture

ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمۡ عَلَيۡهَا لَشَوۡبࣰا مِّنۡ حَمِيمࣲ ۝٦٧

And afterward, lo! thereupon they have a drink of boiling water.

Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall

Meaning

Then indeed, they will have after it a mixture of scalding water.

Insight

Elmalılı explains “shawb” as a mixture added to a drink, and “hamim” as boiling water.

Give thanks today for a pure drink.
