Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Idolators and their gods are Fuel for HellAllah says to the people of Makkah, the idolators of the Quraysh and those who followed their religion of idol worship:إِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ حَصَبُ جَهَنَّمَ(Certainly you and that which you are worshipping now besides Allah, are (but) Hasab for Hell!). Ibn `Abbas said: "Kindling." This is like the Ayah:وَقُودُهَا النَّاسُ وَالْحِجَارَةُ(whose fuel is men and stones) 66:6.
