(1) His statement: “Of pus.” It is cold, foul-smelling pus that cannot be drunk due to its coldness, just as scalding water cannot be drunk due to its heat. I say: This aligns with combining them in Allah’s statement: “Let them taste it—scalding water and pus” (Sad: 57) and: “They will not taste therein any coolness or drink except scalding water and pus” (Al-Naba’: 24-25), relying on the listener’s understanding. (As stated in Al-Mirqat)

(۱) قوله من غساق: وهو الصديد البارد المنتن لا يقدر على شربه من برودته، كما لا يقدر على شرب الحميم الحرارته. قلت: وهو الملائم للجمع بينهما في قوله تعالى: ﴿فَلْيَذُوقُوهُ حَمِيمٌ وَغَسَّاقُ ) (ص: (٥٧) وكذا في قوله سبحانه: ﴿لا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًا وَلَا شَرَابًا * إِلَّا حَمِيمًا وَغَسَّاقًا ) (النبأ: ٢٤-٢٥) على النشر المشوش اعتمادا على فهم السامع. كذا في «المرقاة».
