On 77:29–33

انطَلِقُوا إِلَىٰ مَا كُنتُم بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ انطَلِقُوا إِلَىٰ ظِلٍّ ذِي ثَلَاثِ شُعَبٍ لَّا ظَلِيلٍ وَلَا يُغْنِي مِنَ اللَّهَبِ

77:29-33 Ibn ‘Abbâs is of the opinion that here the believers in trinity are addressed. The followers of this doctrine will be provided with a shadow with three branches, neither that of the Father nor of the son, nor of the Holy Spirit. This shadow will neither protect them from the heat of hell nor safeguard them from the flames spreading all around them, nor from the onslaughts of sparks. Some portion of this shadow will consist of smoke, the other of sparks of flames and of burning coal. This is also an allusion to the wars that Christian nations will be waging against each other.
