Important Words:
خامدون (extinct) is the plural of خامد which is active participle from خمد. They say خمدت النار i.e. the fire subsided, its embers remaining unextinguished. خمد المریض means, the sick man fainted or swooned or died. خمدت الحمی means, the vehemence of the fever became allayed (Lane). See also 21:16.
Commentary:
The verse seems to describe the form of heavenly punishment which will overtake wicked people in the time of the Promised Messiah. The description seems to apply to the falling of shells, incendiary and atomic bombs, which come down with a crashing sound. The fire caused by the bombs destroys everything on which they fall and reduces it to rubble, and all life for miles around becomes extinct. Elsewhere the Quran describes this punishment in the words "We shall make all that is thereon a barren soil" (18:9).
