[1] (V.90:2)
a ) Narrated Ibn ‘Abbâs ( raa ) : On the day of the conquest of Makkah, Allâh’s Messenger ( saas ) said, « Allâh has made this town a sanctuary. Its thorny bushes should not be cut, its game should not be chased, and its fallen things should not be picked up except by one who would announce them publicly. » ( Sahih Al- Bukhari, Vol.2, Hadith No. 657 )
b ) See the footnote of ( V.2:191 ) .

[2] (V.90:13) Narrated Abu Hurairah (raa): The Prophet (saas) said: "Whoever frees a Muslim slave, Allâh will save all the parts of his body from the (Hell) Fire, as he has freed the body-parts of the slave." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.3, Hadith No.693).

[3] (V.90:20) "Therein breathing out with deep sighs and roaring will be their portion, and therein they will hear not. **" [The Qur’ân, Verse 21:100]
**Ibn Mas‘ûd ( raa ) recited this Verse and then said: « When those ( who are destined to remain in the Hell- fire forever ) will be thrown in the Hell- fire, each of them will be put in a separate Tabût ( Box ) of Fire, so that he will not see anyone punished in the Hell- fire except he himself. » Then Ibn Mas‘ûd recited this Verse ( V.21:100 ) . [ Tafsîr Ibn Kathîr, Tabarî and Qurtubî ] .
