The aforementioned is authentic. Mulla Ali al-Qari explains it, stating that the "neck" that emerges from the Fire on the Day of Judgment is a part of it, resembling a long neck with two eyes that see, two ears that hear, and a tongue that speaks. This neck declares: "I have been entrusted with three: every stubborn tyrant, every person who invoked another god alongside Allah, and the picture-makers." This is a severe threat and a sure warning for these categories of disobedient individuals. Allah is capable of making anything speak and endowing it with these attributes.
