وَجِيءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ ۚ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنْسَانُ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ٢٣
And hell is brought near that day; on that day man will remember, but how will the remembrance (then avail him)?

Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 89:23
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
{ وَجِيءَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِجَهَنَّمَ } تقودها الملائكة بالسلاسل.فإذا وقعت هذه الأمور فـ { يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنْسَانُ } ما قدمه من خير وشر.{ وَأَنَّى لَهُ الذِّكْرَى } فقد فات أوانها، وذهب زمانها.
