Tafheem-ul-Quran (En) - Az-Zumar : 71
وَ سِیْقَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اِلٰى جَهَنَّمَ زُمَرًا١ؕ حَتّٰۤى اِذَا جَآءُوْهَا فُتِحَتْ اَبْوَابُهَا وَ قَالَ لَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَاۤ اَلَمْ یَاْتِكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنْكُمْ یَتْلُوْنَ عَلَیْكُمْ اٰیٰتِ رَبِّكُمْ وَ یُنْذِرُوْنَكُمْ لِقَآءَ یَوْمِكُمْ هٰذَا١ؕ قَالُوْا بَلٰى وَ لٰكِنْ حَقَّتْ كَلِمَةُ الْعَذَابِ عَلَى الْكٰفِرِیْنَ
Allah knows full well what the people do. (After this Judgement) those who had disbelieved, shall be driven towards Hell, in groups, till, when they have reached there, its gates will be opened, 81 and its keepers will say to them, "Did not Messengers come to you from among yourselves, who recited to you the Revelations of your Lord, and warned you that you shall have to encounter this Day?" They will reply, "Yes, they did come, but the sentence of punishment proved true against the disbelievers."
81 That is, the gates of Hell will not have already been opened but will be opened on their arrival there just as the gate of a prison is opened on the arrival of the culprits and is closed as soon as they have entered it.
