How will Allah Almighty make hearing, sight, and skin speak on the Day of Resurrection to bear witness against man, and how will man respond to them, and how will he hide from them? And can these verses be interpreted by other Quranic verses, prophetic hadiths, and sayings of the Companions and the Household of the Prophet?
The verses describe the state of the people of Hell on the Day of Resurrection, where their hearing, sight, and skins will bear witness against them for what they did. When they ask their skins, "Why did you testify against us?", the skins will reply, "Allah, who made everything speak, has made us speak." These verses were revealed because some people thought that Allah could not hear them if they concealed themselves. This very thought of theirs led to their destruction and made them among the losers. The verses clarify that if the people of Hell endure, Hell is their abode, and if they seek رضى (pleasure/satisfaction), they will not be granted it.
