Quran 74: 11-30, which mean:
11. [O Mohammed] let me [deal] with him whom I created lone a.
12. To whom I granted abundant wealth [with many advantages.]
13. And sons standing before him. b
14. And made [his livelihood affairs] easy for him.
15. Yet, he is greedy for more c.
16. Certainly not! d for he was stubbornly opposed to Our revelations.
17. But from now on I shall inflict him with difficulties, [and following his death, I shall constrain him] to a hard ascent. e
18. Indeed he reflected [on the Quran] and [with falsehood] did he consider [it.]
19. May he be killed! how he considered! f
20. Then may he be killed! how he considered! [He will be chastised after being killed.]
21. Then he contemplated [to find some way, so as to refute and disprove the Quran.]
22. Then he frowned and was gloomy g - [faced.]
23. Then turned away [from believing] and was arrogant [to Our messenger, and did not yield to the Islam.]
24. And he said: "This [Quran] is only an influential sorcery h."
25. "This is nothing else than speech of mortal man."
[So God – be glorified – said threatening him:]
26. I shall surely roast him in Saqar. i
27. But do you know what Saqar is!? j
[Afterwards, God – be glorified – explained some of its features, and said:]
28. It does not leave [anyone in the space without drawing him towards it]; it does not spare [anything around it without burning it with its heat.]
29. It is [nowadays] looming to mankind k.
30. Imposed upon it [the attraction of] nineteen [planets.] l}

a i.e. when his mother gave birth to him, he was lone: having no money, no wife and no children, then He gave him.
The meaning: Let me deal with him; I will avert his evil from you and take revenge against him according to his denial.
13
b And attending with him. They were ten; three, out of them, believed.
15
c i.e. that I should increase his wealth and sons!
16
d I will not give him more, but I will destroy him and disperse his property.
17
e i.e. he will suffer and face difficulties and chastisement from now on.
In addition, following his death, He will make him ascend up to the fatal gaseous layer.
A similar aya has been explained in the interpretation of the
Quran 72: 17, which means:
(
And whoso turns away from the remembrance of his Lord [and does not thank Him], He will drive him up [in the sky] to be chastised [in the fatal gaseous layers.])
19
f i.e. may God be against him! on account of his consideration; moreover, God will prepare someone to kill him.
22
g i.e. the color of his face changed and became dark red like the date before its ripening.
This expression is similar to His saying – be glorified – in the Quran 75: 24, which means:
(And [some] faces on that day shall be gloomy.)
24
h i.e. which influences the soul.
26
i It means: he will be roasted in the fire of Saqar, which is one of large suns; it is the Fire with which God threatens the disbelievers.
27
j This is to magnify its condition, its severe heat and large diameter.
29
k It looms to people from far away, so they see it as one of the stars, because it is so far away from them.
30
l i.e. imposed on it is the function of holding nineteen planets. That is because when the life of our present sun will end and its surface become cold, it will burst and become nineteen pieces. Then such pieces will become planets, i.e. new earths, which Saqar will draw towards itself, and they will orbit around it, and in this way a new solar system, other than our present system, will form.
The indication of this is His saying – be glorified – in the
Quran 14: 48, which means:
(
On the day [of Doom] when the earth shall be exchanged by another earth, and the [gaseous] heavens too [shall be exchanged by other gaseous heavens]; and [all] shall come forth unto God, the One, the Subduer.)
In my book
The Universe and the Quran, I have fully explained about these ayat, [under the title of:
The sun will burst

quran-ayat.com/universe/new_page_4.htm#The_Sun_Will_Burst__
and Formation of the new planets.

But the associaters thought that the number of the angels responsible about Hell is nineteen, and they mocked their little number.
