As-Sajdah 32:13

Word by word

وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَـَٔاتَيْنَا كُلَّ نَفْسٍ هُدَىٰهَا وَلَـٰكِنْ حَقَّ ٱلْقَوْلُ مِنِّى لَأَمْلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ

And if We had willed, We could have given every soul its guidance, but the word from Me will come into effect [that] "I will surely fill Hell with jinn and people all together.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

وقال هاهنا ( ولو شئنا لآتينا كل نفس هداها ) ، كما قال تعالى ( ولو شاء ربك لآمن من في الأرض كلهم جميعا ) [ يونس : 99 ] .( ولكن حق القول مني لأملأن جهنم من الجنة والناس أجمعين ) أي : من الصنفين ، فدارهم النار لا محيد لهم عنها ولا محيص لهم منها ، نعوذ بالله وكلماته التامة من ذلك .
