He will try to swallow it, but it will not pass his throat and he will desire death from all sides, but he will not die (and be saved from punishment). And beyond this, there is also severe punishment.
Tafsir
When these people are thirsty, they will be given water with pus. But they will not be able to pass it down their throats because they are afraid of it. They will have to use this purulent water because they are very thirsty.
In this situation, these people will desire death. They will want death to come to them from all sides and destroy them. Allah (swt) says in one of His Verses: "They will say, 'Where is destruction? These people will desire death, but they will be burdened with the eternal torment of a land of torment, an immortal realm where there is no more death.
The torments and tortures will not end with this festering water. There is a severe torment beyond that. People are burned in the fire and their skins are scorched, then their skins are restored and they are put into the fire again, and so on and so forth, and they are tormented with unimaginable tortures.
O man! Allah (swt) has placed so many truths in front of your eyes and given you a beautiful mind to distinguish the truth from falsehood. Is it worth running after falsehood for your ego and buying the misery of an eternal life? To become the devil's mascara by running after falsehood because you claim to worship. Again, is it worth it to rebel against Allah for a moment of temporary pleasure and accept the torment of hell?
Wake up and open your eyes and use your mind. Return to your Lord and seek Allah's mercy so that you may be freed from this torment and torture and attain the blessings of eternal bliss.
What is said in the video
On our question board, no one but (?) is asking a question. If they ask, we will answer, inshallah.
He will try to sip it. But he will not be able to get it down his throat. What? The pus. And from every side he will long for death. Yet he is not going to die, it says, so as to escape the punishment. And beyond this there is also a severe punishment. That is, apart from that food, a severe punishment is his being seared in fire, his burning. Now will He strike (?)? Will He put him inside that fire, according to his state? Or will He have him burned in fire? Allahu a'lam. What it is is not clear. But the punishment is severe.
Whenever these people thirst, they will be given pus-filled water. But out of loathing, they will not get this pus-filled water down their throats. And being very thirsty, they will be forced to take this pus-filled water. So in this state these people will long for death. They will say thus, it says: Destruction, where are you? Destruction, that is, death, where are you? There is no more death, it says, for them to die. What does this prove? In many verses too: they are eternal there, and in paradise too they are eternal. Why are they eternal? Why is there no more death? Because our Lord, He is the First, the Last, the Manifest and the Hidden, (?).
There is no death upon Allah. He is deathless. And since He gave us a part of it, we too are deathless. When we say this, this man says, He's a follower of wahdat al-wujud. He doesn't even know what wahdat al-wujud is. When I say I am deathless, I do not mean deathlessness of the body. I mean my soul. If He gave us a part of His essence, a part of His essence — if His essence is mortal, then I am mortal too. He does not separate us from His essence. Since His essence is deathless, we too are deathless. Every soul shall taste death, and your return is to Me, He says. Paradise and hell are eternal, He says.
Here, that we too are deathless, that we will remain eternally in paradise and hell, He emphasises. Isn't that so? Yes. People confuse many things. Yes.
